Morphology

finished = finish (semi-transparent) = finish + ed

The meaning 'highly refined or perfected' is an evaluative extension of 'finished' and conveys a nuance of polish beyond mere completion.

Etymology

Finished comes from the old Latin root finis meaning 'end', the same root as final. A finished skill or work has reached its final, polished form after all the care and detail, so it can mean 'perfected' or fully developed.
