Where do parallel lines meet?

[McDonald]

Which 5 letter word goes before 'point' to be, in mathematics, the hypothetical place where two parallel lines join at infinity?

[wildwood]

All I can think of is the vanishing point, but ofcourse, that is more than 5 letters.

[jonfraz]

If the lines are truly parallel and perfectly straight they could never join no matter how long they become.

you might be thinking of ideal points??

[Wraith]

Ideal.
