cuối cùng

/ˈlɑːstli//ˈlæstli/

"Lastly" is a relatively recent addition to the English language, appearing around the 16th century. It's derived from the Old English word "lātest," meaning "latest" or "most recent." Over time, "latest" evolved into "last," and the addition of "-ly" transformed it into an adverb, signifying "in the end" or "finally." The original meaning of "last" as "most recent" contributed to the development of "lastly" as a word indicating the final item in a sequence.
