終る
おわる · owaru · JLPT N5 · verb-godan
to finish
🏁 owaru: Oh, war -- you are over at last. To finish, to close.
Sound-alike: o-wa-ru is close to Oh war, you... as in the war is over. The kanji 終 pairs thread (糸) with winter (冬): the end of the thread, the last season of the year. Both halves point at coming to an end.
