The quality or state of being final, finished, or unable to be changed or undone.
From Latin finalis ('of the end,' from finis 'end') plus -ity suffix. The word entered English in the 14th century to describe something conclusive or ultimate.
The concept of 'finality' is why 'The End' on a movie feels so satisfying—our brains crave closure and resolution. Legal systems rely heavily on finality because justice needs to settle disputes permanently.
