Morphology

concluded = conclude (transparent) = conclude + ed

Standard past-participle/adjectival formation from the verb 'conclude'; learners who know 'conclude' can readily derive 'concluded' as 'finished'.

Etymology

Concluded comes from Latin parts con- ('together') and cludere ('to close') and shares the same root as the familiar word close, so imagine 'closing a book' at the end of a story. That's why concluded means 'finished' or 'brought to an end'.
