The quality of being honest and having strong moral principles. It can also mean being whole and undamaged.
From Latin 'integritas' meaning 'wholeness, soundness, purity', from 'integer' (whole, untouched). The moral sense came from the idea of a character that is not broken or corrupted.
Integrity isn’t just about telling the truth; it’s about your actions, values, and words forming one unbroken pattern. When people say ‘they have integrity,’ they’re really saying ‘nothing important about them is secretly cracked.’
