Finis and finish both entered English in 1400s. They both ultimately came from Latin, though the etymologists don't say so. And to say a word is derived from Latin and give it a French pronunication is a bit inconsistent. I have never heard the final "s" pronounced as shown in the dictionaries.)

HEY! Is that today's Word? Your post just made me go look, and sure enough, I didn't get it! Though I did get Mail issue 111. Very strange. Twice in recent months I've not gotten a word; and there was that week when I got an extra!

When will "finis" be finis? If you click on "oday's Word" at the bottom of the screen,"finis" is for the third time given as "Today's Word".
