Italian term or phrase: porta a compimento
Si parla del significato della parola in un'opera di Blanchot, Le derniere mot. Come si può tradurre "porta a compimento"?

. Se la parola ordinaria giunge a nominare, porta a compimento, perciò si fa visibile e finisce. Invece la parola “è” e “deve” restare errante, estranea in sé e a sé. Su questa premessa, Blanchot propone, anche stavolta, una metafora legata alla fluttuazione delle acque marine: «Il faut que vous soyez comme un bateau à qui toujours doit manquer le port, mais qui dispose d’un gouvernail. Par l’intermédiaire de jusqu’à ce que, le temps rejette les écueils et devient sa propre épave»
