long object. To <em>end</em> is to cease. The word <em>end</em> has many other senses as a verb, noun, and adjective and is used in several idioms.</p> <p><em>End</em> is a very general word that means a conclusion or a part that is near the conclusion. For example, the <em>end</em> of the summer is the exact moment that it stops being summer, while the <em>end</em> of a movie is the last scene or even the last act. <em>End</em> is often used <a href="https://www.dictionary.com/browse/figuratively" target="_blank" rel="noopener">figuratively</a> to mean death, which is the <em>end</em> of a person’s life.</p> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><strong>Real-life examples</strong>: The <em>end</em> of <a href="https://www.dictionary.com/browse/world-war-ii" target="_blank" rel="noopener">World War II</a> occurred in 1945. The credits usually happen at the <em>end</em> of a movie. Sunset signals the <em>end</em> of daytime.</li> <li aria-level="1"><strong>Used in a sentence</strong>: <em>I liked the beginning of the book, but it got boring near the end. </em></li> </ul> <p>In a similar sense, <em>end</em> is used as a verb to mean to cease or to stop permanently or put a stop to something.</p> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><strong>Real-life examples</strong>: You can <em>end</em> a fight by walking away. A class often <em>ends</em> when the bell rings. Sometimes, though, the teacher <em>ends</em> the class early and lets all the students leave.</li> <li aria-level="1"><strong>Used in a sentence</strong>: <em>The song was just getting good when it suddenly ended. </em></li> </ul> <p>As a noun, <em>end</em> can also mean a last part of something. This sense is used to describe objects that are longer than they are wide. For example, a pencil has an eraser on one <em>end</em> and graphite to write with at the other <em>end</em>.</p> <ul> <li aria-level="1"><strong>Real-life examples</strong>: Most power cables have one <em>end</em> that plugs into an electronic device and another <em>end</em> that plugs into the wall. You usually walk across a hallway from one <em>end</em> to the other. A soccer field has goals at each <em>end</em>.</li> <li><strong>Used in a sentence</strong>: <em>Always point the sharp end of the scissors away from people when you carry them.</em></li> </ul> </div></div><div class="sbl9gogztXjhgr2q6sqW"><h3 class="o7N_IMl_ojUq84P65juL">Where does <em>end</em> come from?</h3><div class="SsOrtxsSDCwEXwEAYUHa"><p>The first records of <em>end</em> come from before the 900s.
