Finitude is noun that means the state of having limits or bounds.
The Latin word finitus (FEE knee toose) provides the origin for our word of the day. It means ‘specific bounds or limits.’ Its distant cousin Finitude has been an English word for several centuries, maintaining the same basic meaning. Here’s an example:
The finitude of my job can be frustrating at times. No matter how much I want to change things, there’s a limit to how much my duties allow me to do so.
