Morphology

finished = finish (transparent) = finish + ed

Standard adjectival past-participle formed from the verb 'finish' with -ed; learners who know 'finish' will readily derive 'finished'.

Etymology

Finished comes from an old Latin word finis meaning 'end', the same root you see in final. A finished product is one that has been brought to its 'end' and has received its last surface work or final touch, so it is ready to use or sell.
