íntegro

upright

adjective EEN-teh-groh Rare

Origin: From Latin integer (untouched, whole), the same root as English 'integer' and 'integrity'.

Also means

complete

Usage Note

Íntegro has two senses that learners should distinguish: morally upright or honest (una persona íntegra), and whole or uncut (la versión íntegra de la película, the uncut version). The second sense is close to completo or entero; the moral sense is its most distinctive use. The written accent on the i is required to mark stress on the antepenultimate syllable.

Examples

"Era un hombre íntegro y honesto."

Natural Translation

He was an upright and honest man.
