== English == === Etymology 1 === From Middle English finis, from Latin fīnis (“end; limit”).

Perhaps for Latin *fignis, from Proto-Indo-European *dʰeygʷ- (“to stick, set up”), whence fīgō, or for Latin *fidnis, from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeyd- (“to split”), whence findō. (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?) Other hypotheses include: From Proto-Indo-European *bʰeyH- (“to strike”); compare perfinēs (“(you would) break, shatter”). From the same source as Proto-Germanic *bainaz (“straight; ready”) and *bainą (“bone”), from Proto-Indo-European *bʰeyH-n- (“something straight, pole”), which may or may not be from the same root “to strike” above. For the meaning “region”, compare pāgus again from a root meaning “to fix”. === Pronunciation === (Classical Latin) IPA(key): [ˈfiː.nɪs] (modern Italianate Ecclesiastical) IPA(key): [ˈfiː.nis] === Noun === fīnis m or f (genitive fīnis); third declension end Antonyms: initium, prīmōrdium, prīncipium, exōrdium, orīgō, limen in finem ― eternally ad finem ― to the end finem facio ― I cease 29-19 BC, Vergil.
