integrity

noun een-teh-gree-DAHD Rare

Origin: from Latin integritas, from integer (whole, untouched)

wholeness

Usage Note

Integridad covers both moral integrity (honesty and uprightness) and physical wholeness (integridad física = bodily integrity/safety). The phrase integridad territorial (territorial integrity) is a key term in international law. Unlike English 'integrity', the physical sense (integridad de los datos = data integrity) is just as common in Spanish as the ethical sense.

Examples

"El juez actuó con total integridad."

Natural Translation

The judge acted with complete integrity.
