Etymology
1. From slutte (“to close; finish; conclude, infer”) + -ning (“action/result-forming noun suffix”). The logical sense developed after Latin conclūsiō (“conclusion, inference”), from conclūdō (“to close together; conclude”); compare konklusjon (“conclusion”).
2. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk slutning and Danish slutning (“ending; conclusion”), as well as archaic Swedish Swedish slutning (“conclusion”). See: Norwegian Nynorsk Nouns '
slutning', Danish Nouns '
slutning'.
