Greetings dear Andrew,
The two Greek words "telos"={far, end} and "teleos"={complete, perfect}
have been used intensively in the English language as the prefixes "tele-"
and "teleo-". See for yourself how many words there really are!
St Paul makes a dramatic connection in Rom 10:4 (see King James
translation) which you will appreciate.
With care and best wishes
