peer agreement (net): +1in conclusion; finally;in short; briefly Explanation: I am not sure if I got you right. Would you like to know if Latin "in fine" is used in the English language? If so, the answer is yes. Examples: In fine, Miss Laura Bell, at the age of sixteen, was a sweet young lady. (W. Thackeray) And now in fine, the author also wishes to take this opportunity to thank all those kind people who wrote him letters telling him everything that was wrong with his last book. (J. Jones) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 40 mins (2009-07-16 18:18:54 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Also, like in your case meaning "at the end of" (the paragraph, article, chapter,etc.) I quess its usage is limited to specific literary style. |
