The word "integrity" can be pronounced with attention to its phonetic components, which are slightly different between British and American English. Here are the IPA transcriptions for each:
Integrity (n): The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles; moral uprightness. It can also refer to the state of being whole and undivided, indicating completeness or unity.
The word "integrity" comes from the Middle French "integrité," which derived from the Latin "integritatem" (nominative "integritas"), meaning "soundness, wholeness, completeness," and from "integer" meaning "whole, complete." Originally, in Latin, "integer" was used in a moral sense as well, meaning "untouched, undiminished, untouched, pure, entire." The English language adopted the word in the early 15th century, carrying over both the moral and the literal senses of wholeness and completeness. Over time, "integrity" has come to be closely associated with moral uprightness and ethical conduct.
