I've done some research, but since English is not my native language, I'm struggling to find an answer to this:
Given a vector, what do you call its beginning and end points?
The best I've found so far is the word "base" for the beginning point of a vector, but I have no clue if that's correct. The best I've got for the end point is the "tip" of the vector, although the same applies as before.

A good question. Since an important property of a vector is its direction it is hard to talk about vectors without having words for where they start and end.
In my experience we have generally called the source or beginning of a vector its "tail" and the destination or end of the vector its "head".
