“Entelecheia” is a transliteration of the Greek word “ἐντελέχεια”, which is a combination of the Greek words enteles (complete), telos (end, purpose, completion), and echein (to have). It was coined by Aristotle to designate in metaphysics “that which realizes or makes actual what is otherwise merely potential” [Encyclopedia Britannica]. It was latinized as “entelechīa” and anglicized as “entelechy.”
