Hi Furkan, you can think of a spectrum as a continuum of attributes that increase in magnitude within a certain subject. For example, if you are taking an English class, at the beginning of the spectrum would be a beginning English 1 class, at "the other end of the spectrum" would the final English class (maybe English 10). Hope this response is also helpful.

It means "opposite".
A teacher of mine once said: "I am old and it's hard for me to get up that early (we students had asked him to shift the schedule). I am at the other end of the spectrum."

Hi Furkan,
'the other end of the spectrum' means the opposite of something.

Hi Furkan, the other end of the spectum' means the complete opposite. An example would be the weather, it can be -25°c or 40°c therefore this would be the other end of the spectum. Hope this helps!
