Etymology

The noun *confins* comes from Late Latin **confīnĭs**, literally “together ends,” formed from *con-* “together” + *finis* “end.” It entered Old French in the 12th century as the plural *confins*, designating the borders or limits between territories. Over time it was regularised into Modern French, with the singular *confine* appearing later, but *confins* remains the common plural form for “boundaries” or “limits.”
