done
This word functions primarily as an adjective in these contexts, though it originates as the past participle of "do." When describing completion or exhaustion, it carries a sense of finality. In the context of cooking, it refers specifically to the internal temperature or texture of food reaching a target state.
In social contexts, the phrase "not done" acts as a polite but firm euphemism for a breach of etiquette, implying a shared understanding of unspoken rules. When used to describe a person's state of mind or a company's fate, it shifts toward a more dramatic or colloquial tone, signaling total depletion or absolute ruin.
