#REDIRECT The word '''Catholic''' is derived (via Late Latin catholicus and French catholique) from the Greek adjective [[Greek:καθολικός|καθολικός]] (katholikos), meaning "universal".[1][2] The name is derived from the Greek phrase [[Greek:καθόλο|καθόλο]] (kath'holou) meaning "on the whole" or "in general" and is a combination of the Greek words [[Greek:κατά|κατά]] meaning "about" and [[Greek:όλος|όλος]] meaning "whole."[3] In the context of [[Christian]] ecclesiology, it has a rich history and several usages. ==See also== *[[Roman Catholicism]]
