How it's used
Refers specifically to the final section or concluding portion of a sequence, document, or physical object. It is more precise than simply saying 最後, which can refer to the final item in a list or the last person in a queue. It carries a slightly formal or literary tone compared to the more common spoken term 尾聲.
Examples
The last few pages of this book are very moving.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 結尾, which is more commonly used for the conclusion of a story, speech, or performance. While they overlap, 末尾 emphasizes the physical or sequential end of something, whereas 結尾 focuses on the narrative or structural closure.
