The answer is Endnote.

Key Points

• In MS Word, if you want to display the meaning or explanation of a word at the bottom of the last page of the document, the correct feature to use is: Endnote​
• Footnotes provide references to something in a document or give a message. Footnotes appear at the bottom of the page. It can be inserted using the “References” tab at the top of the word page.       

• Other features:-
  • Endnote:- They appear all together at the end of the text, instead of separately on each page.

Mistake PointsThe question includes "Bottom of the last page". To insert a note at bottom of the page, a footnote is required, but if we need to add a note after the text line, then an endnote is used.

NOTE: -

Footnote
In Microsoft Word, you would use the Footnote feature to display the meaning of a word at the bottom of the page. This feature inserts a small superscript number in the text where you placed the cursor, and you can type the definition (or any other note) at the bottom of the page, corresponding to that number.

Just to clarify, while footnotes generally appear at the bottom of the page containing the reference, an endnote appears at the end of a document or section. Neither "bottomnote" nor "footernote" are features in Microsoft Word.
