+==Wikitionary EN==
+From Late Latin [[entelechia]], from Ancient Greek [[ἐντελέχεια]] (entelékheia), coined by Aristotle from [[ἐντελής]] (entelḗs, “[[complete]], [[finished]], [[perfect]]”) (from [[τέλος]] (télos, “[[end]], [[fruition]], [[accomplishment]]”)) + ἔχω (ékhō, “to have”).
+# (Aristotelian metaphysics) The complete realisation and final form of some potential concept or function; the conditions under which a potential thing becomes actualized.
+# (specifically) In the metaphysics of Aristotle (384–322 BCE) and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646–1716): a soul; a monad (Leibniz).
+# (chiefly philosophy) A particular type of motivation, need for self-determination, and inner strength directing life and growth to become all one is capable of being; the need to actualize one's beliefs; having both a personal vision and the ability to actualize that vision from within.
