Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'τέλειος' meaning 'perfect' derives from the Ancient Greek 'τέλειος', which meant 'complete, perfect, full-grown'. This, in turn, comes from the word 'τέλος', meaning 'end, completion, purpose'. The concept of perfection is linked to the idea of reaching an end or fulfilling a purpose.
