记忆方法
联想:因为非常饿,一分钟把两碗米饭饭全干完了,所以引申为词义:完全的,全部的。
对于单词integer,in-为否定前缀;teg为词根“接触”;er为后缀;
所以字面义为“没被碰过的”,从而“完整无缺的”,所以是“整”数。
其同源词汇有:
integrity n.完整
integral adj.完整的
integrate v.整合

小知识
Think of the word entire as referring to all of anything. Now think of that “all” as being whole — not broken or lacking in any way. Remember that, and you will have the entire meaning of the word.
Entire is based on the Latin integrum, which came from the prefix in-, “not,” and tangere, “to touch,” and thus means “untouched.” From there it developed into the 14th-century Old French entier, meaning “unbroken or complete,” and then, through Middle English, into our modern word entire. One use of the word you don't see every day is to describe an uncastrated horse — an “entire horse” is a stallion. Gives a pretty interesting picture of the word, doesn't it?
