The one word that ruins itself the moment you say it about everything.
means Complete, total, and not limited or qualified by anything — or, of a ruler, holding power unchecked by laws or other authorities.
from From Latin absolutus, the past participle of absolvere, 'to set free, loosen, complete' — from ab- ('away from') plus solvere ('to loosen, release,' the same root that gives us 'solve' and 'dissolve'). So an absolute thing is literally 'loosed' from all conditions and restraints: free of limits, finished, standing on its own. The word arrived in English through Old French in the late Middle Ages.
