A French word meaning 'finally' or 'in short'; used in English to signal the conclusion or summary of something.
From Old French 'enfin,' derived from 'en' (in) and 'fin' (end). The literal sense 'in the end' evolved into the conversational meaning of 'finally' or 'anyway.'
You'll hear English speakers drop 'enfin' into sentences to sound sophisticated or dramatic, especially when wrapping up a long story—it's the verbal equivalent of throwing up your hands and saying 'well, there you have it!'
