wholistic
Considering every part
Wholistic is a variant spelling of holistic, emphasizing the "whole" in a philosophy that considers complete systems rather than isolated parts.
The standard spelling is holistic, from the Greek *holos* (whole), but wholistic appears frequently, especially in alternative medicine and wellness contexts: a wholistic approach to health.
Some consider it a misspelling; others prefer it for making the "whole" connection explicit.
