In general use, 'integrated' means composed of distinct parts combined into a unified, functioning whole. In a specifically American civil rights context, 'integrated' describes spaces, institutions, or communities that are racially mixed and open to people of all races — the opposite of segregated. The racial sense became prominent in US discourse from the mid-20th century during and after the Civil Rights Movement, describing schools, neighborhoods, and public facilities that admitted both Black and white Americans. Both senses are in active standard English use.
The school became fully integrated in 1971 after years of legal battles and community organizing.
Origin: From Latin 'integratus,' past participle of 'integrare' (to make whole); the racial integration sense emerged in American English in the mid-20th century Civil Rights context. Editorial expansion authored on Slangora.

Register: neutral, standard English, usable in most everyday contexts. Note the regional or dialect label (American) — usage may sound odd outside that variety. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.

For specific readers
Why is this section here?
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
