That’s right. The word coda comes from the Italian word for tail. A coda is a musical term for a passage at the end of a piece of music that repeats a theme or passage that has been heard earlier in the piece. The word is also used in other fields, such as linguistics and biology. In biology, a coda is the final part of a series of segments of DNA.
