Etymology
The French word "fin" comes from the Latin word "finis," which means boundary, limit, or end. Did you know that the Latin "finis" was used not only for physical ends but also metaphorically for conclusions or purposes? The transition from Latin to Old French preserved this meaning, making "fin" the standard term for 'end' in modern French.
