Incorrect spelling, explanation: this spelling is a mistake since the word lacks one additional -l. The regular way of creating an adverb is based on adding the suffix -ly to the end of its root – the adjective. In this case, it’s the word final. Final + ly must be spelled finally, therefore finaly is an incorrect spelling and the correct one is finally.

Correct spelling, explanation: this word is a combination of the adjective final and the ending -ly, which is necessary to form an adverb. -ly is a common adverbial suffix. When creating a derivative, always remember to look at its root. If you add -ly to final, you get a word spelled finally.

Definition of finally:
adverb, after a long time, in the end
He watched the doctor for a few minutes and finally, he spoke.
