Seems apropos, short, to the point and indicative of an internal word.  Default can be defined to return to the host OS with an exit status `u`, but maybe be replaced in (unhosted) environments to perform some sort of system reset, power cycle, or other implementation defined system reset.

`terminate` is a good candidate, but it's unclear what it should terminate — a thread/task, or a process, or the own process, or the own thread.

TERMINATE could have the same meaning as SIGTERM *:
  SIGTERM (Terminated)
           This signal is the default signal sent by kill(1) and represents a
           user or administrator request that a program shut down [normally].
* Other signals result in abnormal termination.
