Morphology

financials = financial (semi-transparent) = finance + al + s

Formed by adding plural '-s' to 'financial'; the relation is regular but the noun sense 'financials' meaning 'financial statements' is business-specific shorthand.

Etymology

Financials comes from finance, which goes back to the Latin word finis meaning 'end' because paying a debt was seen as 'finishing' it, and the familiar word final shares the same root. So financials are the money records that show how bills and debts are paid and accounts are settled.
