Etymology

Noun

finitude (countable and uncountable, plural finitudes)

The state or characteristic of being finite; limitedness.

Usage notes

Finitude is rather formal and used in philosophy, while finiteness is used in mathematics; however, infinitude is used in mathematics more than infiniteness. Less formal is to reword to use limited: “(the fact that) life is limited” rather than “the finitude of life”.
