Why do they say the Mass has begun instead of saying that the Mass has ended when ending a Catholic Mass?

The final address and response in a Catholic Mass is "Ite, missa est" to which the people reply, "Deo Gratias." One of several approved English forms is "The Mass is ended. Go in peace" to which the people reply, "Thanks be to God." None of the approved English addresses state "the Mass has begun." If a priest does this then it is illicit.
