intégralement

Intégralement is a French adverb that translates to "entirely," "completely," "wholly," or "fully" in English. It is derived from the Latin word "integer," meaning "whole" or "complete." In its most common usage, intégralement signifies the absence of any part or aspect being left out or diminished. It emphasizes the totality of something.

For example, a project can be intégralement completed, meaning every task and phase has been finished. A debt can be intégralement repaid, signifying that the full amount owed has been settled. Similarly, a statement can be intégralement true, implying no part of it is false. The adverb is used to convey a sense of thoroughness and a lack of any exceptions or partiality.

In mathematical contexts, the term "intégral" refers to an integral, a fundamental concept in calculus. While related in etymology to the idea of "wholeness" (summing up infinitely small parts), the adverb intégralement itself is not directly a mathematical term but rather a linguistic one used to describe a state of completeness or entirety in various non-mathematical contexts. Its application is broad, extending to descriptions of actions, states, and properties where absolute totality is being conveyed.
