finished

Brought to completion

Finished means completed or at an end.

A finished project is done; a finished product is ready for sale.

When someone is finished, they've completed a task: Are you finished with the bathroom?

But finished also means ruined or defeated beyond recovery: If this gets out, I'm finished.

A finished performance shows polish and refinement—the work of completion evident in its quality.
