The word “integrity” comes from the Latin word “integritas,” which means wholeness, soundness, or completeness. It’s derived from “integer,” which means intact or untouched, literally translating to “untouched,” referring to an original state of being unimpaired or uncorrupted. Over time, the word evolved to embody the qualities of honesty and moral uprightness, reflecting a state of being whole and undivided in moral principles.
