finitely

Not going forever

In a finite manner—with limits, bounds, or an end point.

The word appears almost exclusively in mathematical and philosophical contexts, contrasting with infinitely: The set is finitely bounded.

In everyday speech, people rarely need to specify that something has limits, since most things obviously do.
