Entelechy (Greekἐντελέχεια entelecheia) is understood in philosophy as something that has its goal (telos) in itself. The term was introduced by Aristotle in Metaphysics IX, 8 (see also actuality and potentiality). The term entelechy is composed of three components (en-tel-echeia): en (in), tel from telos (goal), echeia from echein (to have/hold).
