Alpha Omega
First and last
Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, used together to signify the beginning and the end, the totality of something.
The phrase appears in the Bible as a title for God and Christ, emphasizing eternal existence and completeness.
By extension, the alpha and omega of any subject means its fundamental essence or entirety: She knows the alpha and omega of contract law.
