Finite verb

Traditionally, a finite verb (from Latin: fīnītus, past participle of fīnīre – to put an end to, bound, limit) is the form "to which number and person appertain", in other words, those inflected for number and person. Verbs were originally said to be finite if their form limited the possible person and number of the subject.
