Part of speech: verb
Forms: form: makes ends meet

Etymology: Unknown. Perhaps originally referred to the ends of rope meeting, signifying continuity and therefore security and stability. Perhaps shifting later to refer to the attempt at making money last from one pay period to the next (i.e. the ends), thereby leaving no gap or break in the availability of funds.

The form make both ends meet is attested from the 17th century, and was the more common form until the early-to-mid 20th century.
