ολοκληρώνω
Lemma: ολοκληρώνω
Translation: was completed; was finished (verb)
Etymology: From Ancient Greek ὁλόκληρος (holóklēros) meaning 'whole, complete, entire', composed of ὅλος (hólos) 'whole' + κλῆρος (klêros) 'lot, portion'. The root ὅλος is cognate with English 'whole' and 'hale' (as in 'hale and hearty'). The mathematical term 'integral' shares conceptual similarity, as integration completes or makes whole a mathematical process. The word emphasizes bringing something to its full, intended state.
