By the sound of it, language perfect (6)
I believe the answer is:
finish
'perfect' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for finish that I've seen before include "Treatment of surface" , "Pefect" , "Patina" , "Conclude, wind up" , "Bring to an close" .)
