/ˌkɑːm.prəˈhend/
To include, comprise. To contain. To understand or grasp fully and thoroughly. To understand something completely.
Comprehensive (Adj.) - Broadly or completely covering and including a large proportion of something. Complete and including everything that is necessary.
From Latin comprehendere 'to take together, to unite, include, seize' (of catching fire or the arrest of criminals), also 'to comprehend, perceive' (to seize or take in the mind), from com 'with, together', here probably 'completely' + prehendere 'to catch hold of, seize', from prae- 'before' + -hendere, from PIE root *ghend- 'to seize, take'.
