the complete state
| Morphological Notes | Adjective functioning substantively; nominative singular neuter (Gr,NS,,,,NNS / AMS depending on parsing); denotes a completed or mature state as a noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | As a neuter nominative singular substantive adjective, it denotes an abstract or concrete state of completion. "The complete state" preserves the root idea of reaching the intended end (τέλος) and reflects its substantival neuter form. |
