Merriam-Webster Dictionary:
History and Etymology for final
Adjective
Middle English,
"pertaining to an end or conclusion,
effecting a close, ultimate, conclusive,"
borrowed from Anglo-French & Latin;
Anglo-French, borrowed from Medieval Latin fīnālis
"last, at the end, ultimate," going back to Latin, "of boundaries,"
from fīnis "boundary, limit, terminal point, ending"
(of uncertain origin) + -ālis -AL entry 1
NOTE:
According to an older hypothesis, fīnis goes back to *fig-sn-is,
a derivative from the base of fīgere "to drive in, insert, fasten" (see FIX entry 1),
assuming that the word originally referred to some sort of boundary markerfixed to a tree or driven into the ground.
A more recent suggestion sees fīnis going back to *bhiH-n-i,
a derivative of an Indo-European verbal base *bhei̯H- "strike, break,"
seen also in an o-grade derivative *bhoi̯H-n-o-,
whence Germanic *baina- "bone" and "straight"
(in Old Norse beinn "straight"); (see BONE entry 1);
in this case fīnis would have referred originally
to an upright branch or stake used to mark boundaries.
Both hypotheses are in the end speculative,
as the semantic prehistory of fīnis in Latin is unknown.
