The Latin root word *fin* means an 'end,' as in a 'boundary' or 'limit.' Some common English vocabulary words that come from this Latin root word include [*fin*]al, [*fin*]ish, and de[*fin*]ition. Perhaps the easiest way to remember that this root word means 'end' is through the word in[*fin*]ite, since something in[*fin*]ite has no 'end!'
