Usage Notes or Etymology
The word integrasi is borrowed from the Latin integratio, rooted in integer meaning “whole” or “undivided”. It entered Indonesian through Dutch integratie and English integration, alongside the development of modern political, educational, and administrative discourse in the 20th century. In the Indonesian context, “integrasi” carries significant historical weight, particularly in the discourse of “national integration”, referring to the effort to unite ethnic, linguistic, and cultural diversity under a single national identity. This concept became an ideological cornerstone of post-independence nation-building and frequently appears in state documents, educational curricula, and public policy frameworks.
