What is the literal translation of word Catholic?

The word "Catholic" comes from the Greek word "καθολικός" (katholikos), which literally translates to "universal" or "according to the whole".

However, in the context of Christianity, "Catholic" signifies more than just "universal." It refers to the universal Church or the Church of the whole world, encompassing all believers.
