Adding "to end" as part of the entry.
-------------

Editor: Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't added "to end" as a separate gloss, since 了断 is not a neutral, general verb meaning "to end" (like 结束). It typically implies bringing something to a decisive or final conclusion. The existing gloss "to bring to a conclusion" already covers that meaning more accurately, and a bare "to end" would be too broad and potentially misleading.

Ex.
分手像慢性病,很難快意了斷,...

自殺者自行了斷生命,卻留給親友無盡的痛苦悲傷,與永遠縈繞心頭而無解的「為什麼?!」
