Meseems that תכלית TAKLIYT = TA-KL-IYT is of the root כל
כלה כלל KLL, 'encompass, include', with the initial personal
pronoun TA = ATAH אתה and the trailing combined personal pronoun
IYT, all for the thing itself. Hence, TAKLIYT signifies here 'total,
full, complete, consummate, perfect, general, entire, whole,
conclusive, inclusive, all-embracing, all-encompassing.
The root KLL is a variant of
גלל, הלל, חלל, כלל, קלל
GLL, HLL, XLL, KLL, QLL
In today's spoken Hebrew TAKLIYT came to mean 'goal, end, ultimate
purpose'.
