Usage: Use finale to refer specifically to the concluding segment of a performance or event, rather than just any ending. Avoid using it as a verb; instead, use "to conclude" or "to finish."
The word finale comes from the Italian finale, meaning "ending." This traces back to the Latin word finis, which signified an end or boundary.
