Peroration is the conclusion of a speech or oration - the final part that sums up the argument and appeals to the audience. It comes from Latin 'perorare' meaning to speak thoroughly or complete a speech.

A peroration is the final, often rhetorically elaborate, part of a speech that sums up and concludes it — matching "conclusion of an oration." The other definitions describe unrelated words (offering condolences, universal appeal, or physical strength), none of which relate to speechmaking.
