closing(名/形)常指结束、收尾;也可指(商店等)停业、关门;在商业语境中还可指成交/结算(如交易、房产交割)。(含义较多,此处以“结束/收尾、关门”为主。)
/ˈkloʊzɪŋ/

After months of negotiation, the closing took place on Friday, and the contract finally became effective.

来自动词 close(关闭、结束),源于古法语 clos / clore,与拉丁语 claudere(关闭、封闭)有关;**-ing** 常用于构成动名词,表示“……的过程/结果”,因此 closing 可表示“结束/关闭这一行为或阶段”。
