When something tails off, it gradually becomes less in amount or value, often before coming to an end completely.
Last year, economic growth tailed off to below four percent...

In computer science, a tail call is a subroutine call performed as the final action of a procedure. If the target of a tail is the same subroutine, the subroutine is said to be tail recursive, which is a special case of direct recursion.

<programming> When the last thing a function (or procedure)
does is to call itself. Such a function is called tail
recursive. A function may make several recursive calls but
a call is only tail-recursive if the caller returns
immediately after it. E.g.
f n = if n < 2 then 1 else f (f (n-2) + 1)
In this example both calls to f are recursive but only the
outer one is tail recursive.
Tail recursion is a useful property because it enables {tail
recursion optimisation}.
If you aren't sick of them already, see recursion and {tail
recursion}.
