Entelechy

Entelechy is a philosophical concept of Aristotle. The words traces to Latin, entelechia, from Greek enteles (complete), from telos (end, completion) and echein (to have).

It denotes realization as opposed to potentiality.

In some philosophical systems, it may denote a force propelling one to self-fulfillment.
