To make final or bring to an end; to conclude or complete something.
From Latin 'finalis' (final) plus -ify suffix (from Latin 'facere' meaning to make). This verb was created following productive English patterns for creating verbs that mean 'to make' a certain way.
The '-ify' suffix is one of English's most productive word-making tools—it let Medieval scholars create 'finify' to describe the logical process of reaching a conclusion, similar to how modern speakers use '-ize' in newly coined technical terms!
