holistic

/hoʊˈlɪstɪk/

EN

Characterized by the belief that whole systems should be analyzed as interconnected wholes rather than broken into separate parts, often used in healthcare and philosophy to address the whole person rather than just specific symptoms.

Many wellness clinics now offer holistic care that treats the mind, body, and spirit together.

Etymology

Coined in 1926 from the Greek word 'holos' meaning 'whole', with the suffix -istic added to form the adjective.
