A concept used by Aristotle, which is the opposite of energeia; actuality. He used this concept to explain the generation of things, and believed that things develop from potential existence to actual existence. For example, a seed of a tree is only the potential existence of a tree, but in time the seed of a tree becomes actual and becomes a tree. This concept corresponds to his concept of matter and form.

アリストテレスの使用した概念で,現実態 energeia; actualityと対をなす。彼は事物の生成をこの対概念によって説明し,事物は可能的存在から現実的存在へと発展すると考えた。たとえば木の種子は木の可能的存在にすぎないが,やがて木の種子は現実化して木となる。彼のこの概念は,同じく彼の質料と形相という対概念と対応するものである。
