/fīˈnalədē,fəˈnalədē/
noun
the quality of being an irreversible or ultimate conclusion
As a great man's influence never ends, so also there is not definite finality, no end, to a great survey; it runs along for centuries, ever responsive to the strain of the increasing needs of a growing population and an enlarging domain.
- Cleveland Abbe (1838 - 1960)
