finished
UK: ˈfɪnɪʃt | US: ˈfɪnɪʃt
adj. completed or brought to an end
adj. perfected or polished
v. (past tense of "finish") to complete or conclude
The word "finished" derives from the verb "finish," which entered Middle English from Old French finiss- (stem of finir), meaning "to complete." The Old French term traces back to Latin finire ("to limit, end"), from finis ("boundary, end"). The suffix "-ed" marks the past tense or past participle form, indicating completion. The evolution reflects a logical progression from setting boundaries (Latin finis) to concluding actions (Modern English "finished").
