Etymology

The Modern Greek word 'εντελώς' meaning 'completely' derives from the Ancient Greek 'ἐντελῶς' (entelôs), which itself comes from the word 'ἐντελής' (entelḗs), meaning 'complete, perfect'. This is formed from the prefix 'ἐν-' (en-, 'in') and 'τέλος' (télos, 'end, purpose'). The word evolved to denote the sense of being fully or entirely something.
