integritii

Integritii is the non-diacritic form of a Romanian word that can refer to two distinct concepts depending on the diacritics and context: integrități (plural of integritate) or integrații (plural of integrație). In standard Romanian, integrități denotes integrity, while integrații denotes integrations.

Integrități refers to integrity, understood as honesty, moral soundness, and consistency of actions, statements, and values. It can describe a person, an organization, or the behavior of systems, such as data integrity, which concerns the accuracy and reliability of information over its lifecycle.

Integrații denotes the process or results of bringing parts together into a whole. It is used in fields like information technology (system integrations), business (organizational or data integrations), education (curriculum integration), and engineering. In mathematics and science, related terms include integrație, the operation of integration in calculus.

Originating from Latin, integritate and integrație reflect different roots: integritas in the sense of wholeness or honesty, and integratio in the sense of bringing together. In Romanian text, the diacritics are essential to distinguish these meanings, since the non-diacritic form integritii can be ambiguous in isolation.

Usage notes: when writing without diacritics, context usually guides the intended sense, but restoring diacritics (integrități vs. integrații) improves clarity. Both forms are common in modern Romanian, each occupying its own semantic domain.
