Lemma 29.20.17. Let X \to Y be a morphism of schemes over a base scheme S. Let x \in X. If X \to S is quasi-finite at x, then X \to Y is quasi-finite at x. If X is locally quasi-finite over S, then X \to Y is locally quasi-finite.
Proof. Via Lemma 29.20.11 this translates into the following algebra fact: Given ring maps A \to B \to C such that A \to C is quasi-finite, then B \to C is quasi-finite. This follows from Algebra, Lemma 10.122.6 with R = A, S = S' = C and R' = B. \square
