Welcome to ELU. Unfortunately, Naming, including naming programming variables/classes is explicitly off-topic -- but if you can make your question on-topic then it might be re-opened. — Andrew Leach, Jan 30 '16 at 21:15
I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because naming is explicitly off-topic. — Andrew Leach, Jan 30 '16 at 21:15
I saw a similar question, http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/177389/is-there-a-common-term-for-source-and-destination. Anyway didn't know where to ask, but thanks. — Salim Braksa, Jan 30 '16 at 21:19
Check their Help pages to see what's on-topic. I doubt that any site will consider naming questions, because you can name your class Susan and it will work successfully. If you remove all mention of naming and simply ask what is a hypernym of source and destination, it will probably be on-topic here (even the duplicate you found is off-topic, because it's about naming). Naming is a no-no. — Andrew Leach, Jan 30 '16 at 21:19
OK... But it will be closed for lack of research. Check synonyms of both words; a synonym of both may be a hypernym. Show your research in your question. — Andrew Leach, Jan 30 '16 at 21:31
@AndrewLeach Funnily enough I was going to say termini. For some inexplicable reason it made me think of the source and destination of a Piccadilly Line train, which used to be Osterley (now Heathrow) and Cockfosters. And what are these? Termini of course! — WS2, Jan 30 '16 at 21:48

In what is known as communication theory, the endpoints are the source and destination of a message. That said, I would not called that a "hypernym"
