vollkommener

Vollkommener is a German word that translates to "perfect" or "complete" in English. It is derived from the Old High German word "vullkōmō," which is a combination of "vull" (full) and "kōmō" (coming). The word implies a state of being without flaw, deficiency, or incompleteness.

In philosophical contexts, "vollkommener" can refer to an absolute or ultimate state. For example, a "vollkommener Gott" would be a God who is perfect in all aspects. The concept of perfection can also be applied to abstract ideas or ideals, such as a "vollkommener Kreis" (a perfect circle) in geometry, which is defined as a set of points equidistant from a center.

In everyday language, "vollkommener" is used to describe something that is excellent or ideal. It can be used to praise a performance, a work of art, or any situation that meets the highest standards. The term often carries a sense of finality and irreproachability, suggesting that nothing more can be added or taken away to improve it. While "perfect" in English can sometimes imply an unattainable ideal, "vollkommener" in German often describes a state that has been fully realized or achieved.
