closing
Wrapping things up
Closing is the act of shutting, ending, or concluding something.
A closing door, a closing argument, the closing minutes of a game.
In real estate, the closing is the final meeting where property transfers and documents are signed: We're scheduled for closing on Friday.
Closing can also describe something that comes at the end: closing remarks, closing credits.
