closing out
Wrapping things up
Closing out means bringing something to an end or completion.
You close out an account by withdrawing funds and terminating it, close out a sale by finalizing the transaction, or close out inventory by selling remaining stock at reduced prices: We're closing out last season's merchandise.
In sports, closing out a game means securing victory in the final moments.
The phrase suggests finishing what remains rather than abandoning it midway.
