What does FINAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Coming at the end of a process, series, or list, with nothing further to follow or change.
A final decision, offer, or version is meant to be the last one, closing off further discussion or revision. The word also survives as a noun in its own right, naming the last and deciding match of a tournament or the concluding exam at the end of a course, both senses growing naturally out of the same idea of an ending point. Because final signals that no more changes are expected, people often use it to add weight or urgency, as in a final warning or a final call. Editors and negotiators alike reach for final specifically to mark the point where debate is supposed to stop.
