A finale is the grand ending of a performance, show, or series, often designed to be the most exciting part. It wraps everything up in a memorable way.
It comes from Italian “finale,” meaning “final” or “last part,” from Latin “finis” for “end.” It entered English through music and theater.
A finale is not just any ending—it’s a carefully staged goodbye meant to echo in your memory. That’s why TV series, concerts, and even fireworks shows save their loudest or most emotional moments for the finale.
