Sfârșit comes from the verb a sfârși, to end or finish. That verb traces back to Latin, built from the prefix ex- fused onto finire, to finish. Romanian regularly turns Latin ex- into an initial s-, so exfinire became sfârși in the same way other Latin ex- verbs gave Romanian s- verbs. The word sfârșit itself is the past participle of that verb, used as both a noun and an adjective.
