EtymologyEdit

The context of a due date originated in journalism, probably from an earlier usage in printing, representing a guideline marked on a plate for a printing press (inside which all content should appear). According to the Oxford English Dictionary, early usage refers simply to lines that do not move, such as one used in angling; slightly later American usage includes a boundary around a prison which prisoners must not cross.

PronunciationEdit

• IPA^(key): /ˈdɛdˌlaɪn/

NounEdit

deadline ‎(plural deadlines)

1. A date on or before which something must be completed.

   I must make this deadline or my boss will kill me!‎

2. (archaic) A guideline marked on a plate for a printing press.
3. (archaic) A line that does not move. (Can we add an example for this sense?)
4. (archaic) A boundary around a prison, prisoners crossing which would be shot.

DeclensionEdit

The declension of this word is problematic. Joukahainen recommends nalle-type declension, presumably based on the spelling of the word:

Inflection of deadline (Kotus type 8/nalle, no gradation)
nominative		deadline	deadlinet
genitive		deadlinen	deadlinejen
partitive		deadlineä	deadlinejä
illative		deadlineen	deadlineihin
		singular	plural
nominative		deadline	deadlinet
accusative	nom.	deadline	deadlinet
	gen.	deadlinen
genitive		deadlinen	deadlinejen deadlineinrare
partitive		deadlineä	deadlinejä
inessive		deadlinessä	deadlineissä
elative		deadlinestä	deadlineistä
illative		deadlineen	deadlineihin
adessive		deadlinellä	deadlineillä
ablative		deadlineltä	deadlineiltä
allative		deadlinelle	deadlineille
essive		deadlinenä	deadlineinä
translative		deadlineksi	deadlineiksi
instructive		—	deadlinein
abessive		deadlinettä	deadlineittä
comitative		—	deadlineineen

On the other hand, nalle-declension does not fit with the pronunciation, which would rather indicate risti-type declension. It would probably be advisable to avoid using this word in written communication, and use Finnish synonyms instead.
