Standard past-participial/adjectival formation from the verb 'finish' meaning 'completed'.

Etymology

Finished comes from an old Latin word finire meaning 'to end', like the 'finish' line in a race or the word final. When you are finished with something, you have reached its end, so the task is complete and no longer in progress.
