| integrate
"Integrity" is the quality or state of being whole or undivided.
"Integrate" means, among other things, "to form, coordinate, or blend
into a functioning or unified whole." (Exact words taken from my
desk copy of Webster.)

| "Integrity" is the quality or state of being whole or undivided.
"Integrate" means, among other things, "to form, coordinate, or blend
into a functioning or unified whole." (Exact words taken from my
desk copy of Webster.) It can be used intransitively, so you
could just say "Integrate." Or "Integrate yourself." Or "Become
integrated."

| 797.9 | unify? | XANADU::RECKARD | Jon Reckard, 381-0878, ZKO3-2/T63 | Tue May 15 1990 18:20 | 10 |
| My desk-top Random House has for "integer"
<L: untouched, hence, undivided, whole
I'd be inclined to coin "integrify" or "integrize", but I'm not certain which
would be etymologically correct. Neither is very pleasing ... something about
that "gr" ... The intended "root" meaning I'm after is "to make undivided".
"Unify" almost says it, though.

| ... but I don't see how "integrate" conveys the right meaning. I'm
thinking of "integrity" in the boy-scout sense of being upstanding,
straightforward, honest, moral, forthright and so on.
It would seem to me that "integrate" conjures up images of unity and
unifying actions -- not exactly what I had in mind.
Think of a dying father speaking some last words to his only son.
He wants to tell the son to "be a man of integrity". On his deathbed,
papa can't quite get that many words out, he's looking for a one-word
imperative to convey the significange of his last words, er, word.
There are many synonyms, some listed in earlier replies, but I was
wondering if there was some appropriate word in the "integrity" family.
I'd ask Richard Lederer but don't often get to listen to him on the air.

It appears that the adjective connected with the noun 'integrity'
ie 'integral', does not have the same connotation, ie that of rectitude.
However 'integral' seems to be correct.

| I seem to remember that there's an etymological connection between
the words `health' and `wholeness'. But _English_ isn't dusty [sic]
enough for me to know about it.
