A conclusion is the final part of something, such as a story, event, or piece of writing. It is also the decision or judgment you reach after considering facts or arguments.
From Latin 'conclūsiō', from 'conclūdere' ('to close, to finish'). It came into English with the idea of a closing section or final judgment.
A conclusion isn’t just 'the end'; it’s the part that tells people what all the earlier details were really for. In essays, weak conclusions feel like the writer just stopped; strong ones feel like the whole piece finally snaps into focus.
