Morphology

concluding = conclude (transparent) = conclude + ing

A standard participial/adjectival formation from the verb 'conclude', so the adjectival meaning is directly derived from the verb.

Etymology

The word concluding comes from the Latin parts con- ('together') and cludere ('to shut'), and it shares the same root as the everyday word close. So a concluding part is the 'closing' or final part that brings something to an end.
