termini

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a number of ends' is the definition.
'termini' can be an answer for 'ends' (terminus is a kind of end). I am not sure about the 'a number of' bit.

'interim restructuring' is the wordplay.
'restructuring' indicates anagramming the letters.
'interim' with letters rearranged gives 'TERMINI'.

'has' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for termini that I've seen before include "goals" , "limits of service" , "Ends, extremities" , "Final parts" , "End-points" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
