Perfection is, broadly, a state of completeness and flawlessness. The term perfection is actually used to designate a range of diverse, if often kindred, concepts. These concepts have historically been addressed in a number of discrete disciplines, notably mathematics, physics, chemistry, ethics, aesthetics, ontology, and theology. The form of the word long fluctuated in various languages. The English language had the alternates, perfectio and the Biblical perfectness. Aristotle. The word perfection derives from the Latin perfectio, and perfect — from perfectus. These expressions in turn come from perficio — to finish, to bring to an end Perfectio(n)" thus literally means a finishing, and perfect(us) — finished, much as in grammatical parlance ("perfect").[2] Many modern languages have adopted their terms for the concept of "perfection" from the Latin: the French "parfait" and "perfection"; the Italian perfetto and perfezione; the Spanish perfecto and perfección; the Englishperfect anperfection; the Russian совершенный (sovyershenniy) and совершенcтво ovyershenstvo); the Croatian and Serbian savršen and savršenstvo; the Czech dokonalost; the Slovak "dokonaly" and dokonalost; the Polish doskonały and doskonałość.[2] The genealogy of the concept of perfection reaches back beyond Latin, to Greek. The Greek equivalent of the Latin perfectus was teleos.The latter Greek expression generally had concrete referents, such as a perfect physician or flutist, a perfect comedy or a perfect social system. Hence the Greek teleiotes was not yet so fraught with abstract and superlative associations as would be the Latin perfectio or the modern perfection. To avoid the latter associations, the Greek term has generally been translated as completeness rather than perfection.
