Choosing the right word Döderlein's Latin Synonyms
Finire · Terminare · Consummare · Absolvere · Perficere
Finire and terminare denote the mere ending of anything, without regard to how far the object of the undertaking is advanced; finire (φθίνειν?) to end, in opp. to incipere, Cic. Orat. iii. 59; but terminare, to make an end, in opp. to continuare; whereas consummare, absolvere, and perficere denote the completion of a work; consummare, as the most general term in opp. to doing a thing by halves; absolvere refers to a duty fulfilled, and a difficult work which is now done, and leaves the workman free, in opp. to inchoare; perficere refers to an end attained, and a self-chosen task, which is now done, and may be called complete, in opp. to conari. Cic. Orat. 29, 30. Verr. i. 27. Absolutus also has an extensive signification, and refers to the completeness of the work, like ἐντελής; perfectus, an intensive signification, and refers to the excellence of the work, like τέλεῖος. (iv. 366.)
