adj.

mid-14c., adjective in past participle form from fin.
n.

Old English finn, from Proto-Germanic *finno (cf. Middle Low German vinne, Dutch vin), perhaps from Latin pinna “feather, wing” (see pin (n.)); or, less likely, from Latin spina “thorn, spine” (see spike (n.1)).

U.S. underworld slang sense of “$5 bill” is 1925, from Yiddish finif “five,” from German fünf (see five) and thus unrelated. The same word had been used in England 1868 to mean “five pound note” (earlier finnip, 1839).
fin
(fĭn)
One of the winglike or paddlelike parts of a fish, dolphin, or whale that are used for propelling, steering, and balancing in water.
