How to spell conclusion

Conclusion is spelled C-O-N-C-L-U-S-I-O-N.

What it means: The end or final part of something.

In a sentence: At the end of the story, we come to a happy conclusion. ▶

The part people get wrong

Watch for an unstressed vowel that is hard to hear.

Same family: conclude, conclusive, inconclusive, closure, decision. If you can spell one, the shared part carries to the others.

Where it comes from: “Conclusion” comes from Latin *conclusio*, from *concludere* meaning “to shut up, enclose, end,” built from *con-* (together) + *claudere* (to close). It literally carries the idea of “closing things together” at the end.
