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 καθόλο (kath'holou) meaning "on the whole" or "in general" and is a combination of the Greek words κατά meaning "about" and όλος meaning "whole."[3] In the context of Christian ecclesiology, it has a rich history and several usages.
