letztendlich
ultimately
Am Ende oder nach allem, was passiert ist; das abschließende Ergebnis von etwas.
The German word "letztendlich" is an adverb that means "ultimately" or "finally". It is composed of "letzt" (last) and "endlich" (final). "Letzendlich" is often used to conclude a statement or to indicate that a particular conclusion has been reached after consideration or discussion. Similar words in German include "schlussendlich" (conclusively), "letztlich" (in the end), and "final" (final).
While all these words convey a sense of finality, "letztendlich" often implies a culmination of a process or discussion leading to the conclusion, whereas "schlussendlich" might carry a more definitive tone.
