kaganapán with stress marks
completion
Usage Note
Kaganapan denotes the state of being complete or fulfilled — the full realization of something. It appears frequently in religious and philosophical texts (e.g., the 'fullness' of God's plan), as well as in academic and formal discourse when discussing the culmination of a project, a life, or a creative work. It carries a stronger sense of wholeness than the simpler 'katapusan' (end).

" Para sa mga mananampalataya, ang kaganapan ng plano ng Diyos ay matutupad lamang sa takdang panahon na hindi natin lubusang nauunawaan. "
