integrità

integrity; wholeness

noun een-teh-gree-TAH Rare

Origin: From Latin 'integritas' (wholeness, soundness), from 'integer' (untouched, whole)

Usage Note

Integrità is an invariable noun — like all Italian nouns ending in an accented vowel, it does not change in the plural: l'integrità (singular) and le integrità (plural, though rarely used). It covers moral integrity (integrità morale), physical wholeness (integrità fisica), and data integrity (integrità dei dati) in computing. The accent on the final syllable is obligatory and marks stress: een-teh-gree-TAH.

Examples

"Ha sempre agito con integrità e onestà."

Natural Translation

He has always acted with integrity and honesty.
