means The final unraveling of a story, where loose plot threads get tied up and the reader finally learns how everything shakes out.

from Borrowed straight from French dénouement, 'the untying,' from dénouer, 'to undo a knot' — itself from nouer, 'to tie,' tracing back to Latin nodus, 'knot' (the same root that gives us 'node'). The metaphor is exact: a plot is imagined as a tangle of knotted thread, and the denouement is the patient work of loosening it until the story lies flat.
