Conclòs

Conclòs is a Catalan adjective meaning "concluded" or "completed." It is used to describe a finished state of a document, process, event, or object, and commonly appears in formal or administrative language.

Etymology and forms: Conclòs derives from the Catalan verb concloure, “to conclude” or “to close,” with the past participle form conclòs. As a court or official descriptor, it agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number, and appears in contexts such as expedient conclòs (the file closed) or procés conclòs (the process completed).

Usage and contexts: In legal and administrative settings, conclòs signals that procedures or records have reached their end and no further actions are required. It can also be found in bureaucratic reports, project documentation, and archival descriptions to indicate that a matter has been finalized. In literature and journalism, the term may be employed to emphasize closure or the completion of a chapter, argument, or timeline.

Relation to related terms: Conclòs is closely linked to the verb concloure and to related nouns such as conclusió (conclusion). It is distinct from similar terms in other languages, such as the Spanish concluido or the French conclu, though they share a common Latin origin, conclusus. Correct usage depends on Catalan orthography and grammatical agreement within a sentence.

See also: Concloure; conclusió; concluded (in English); expediente conclòs. Note that proper spelling with the diaeresis accent on the o is an important part of standard Catalan orthography.
