Close finish (3)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

end

I believe this is a double definition.

'close' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'finish' is the second definition.
('end' can be a synonym of 'finish')

(Other definitions for end that I've seen before include "Aim - point - finish" , "Discontinue" , "SECOND PART OF 24" , "Conclusion, finish" , "Limit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Times.
