Morphology
The phrase 'final period' is a direct adjective+noun composition: 'final' means last and 'period' means an interval, so the sense 'the last segment or phase' is immediately predictable from the parts. This compositional pattern is cross‑linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituent words would readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Final period comes from final meaning last and period meaning a fixed part of time, like a part of a concert or school year. It gives the image of the very last part when things finish or people give their last effort, so it means 'the last phase' of an event or time.
