A subgroup of a group $G$ that is invariant with respect to all endomorphisms of $G$. The set of fully-characteristic subgroups forms a sublattice in the lattice of all subgroups. The commutator subgroup and the members of the lower central series in an arbitrary group are fully-characteristic subgroups. In addition, any [[Verbal subgroup|verbal subgroup]] of a group is fully characteristic. The converse statement is true for free groups: Any fully-characteristic subgroup is verbal.

A subgroup of a group $G$ that is invariant with respect to all endomorphisms of $G$. The set of fully-characteristic subgroups forms a sublattice in the lattice of all subgroups. The commutator subgroup and the members of the lower central series in an arbitrary group are fully-characteristic subgroups. In addition, any verbal subgroup of a group is fully characteristic. The converse statement is true for free groups: Any fully-characteristic subgroup is verbal.
