\fi-ni-‘fU-gal\ (adjective) hating endings; of someone who tries to avoid or prolong the final moments of a story, relationship, or some other journey Finifugal originates from the Latin word fuga, for flight. It shows us that endings are fleeting. We may hate them. We may fear them. We may avoid them. But we don’t need to. Like sunsets, endings can be beautiful. The next morning, the sun always rises again, because there is no such thing as an ending, just a new beginning.
