Eksiksiz

Eksiksiz is a Turkish adjective meaning complete, thorough, or exhaustive; it describes something that is without missing parts or omissions. The term is commonly used to emphasize that information, documentation, lists, or processes are fully and without deficiency prepared or presented.

Etymology and nuance: Eksiksiz is formed from eksik, meaning missing or incomplete, plus the suffix -siz, meaning without. The literal sense is “without deficiency,” conveying a high level of completeness or fullness. It is typically used in formal or semi-formal contexts to stress thoroughness rather than mere adequacy.

Usage: Eksiksiz typically pre-modifies a noun, as in eksiksiz bir rapor (a complete report) or eksiksiz bilgiler (comprehensive information). It can also be used with adverbial phrases to strengthen a description, for example eksiksiz biçimde yapılmış (done in a complete/wholly thorough manner). While it often appears in professional, academic, or official language, it may also appear in journalism and evaluative writing to indicate thoroughness.

Related terms: Synonyms include tam, kusursuz, kapsamlı, and eksiksizliğini vurgulayan ifadeler (expressions emphasizing completeness). The opposite is eksik or eksiklik, meaning incomplete or deficiency.
