Gestalt is used in various contexts, like the psychology (especially the psychology of perception). Here's wiktionary:

A collection of physical, biological, psychological or symbolic elements that creates a whole, unified concept or pattern which is other than the sum of its parts, due to the relationships between the parts (of a character, personality, entity, or being) quotations

It's also used that way in German, aside from its regular meaning: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gestalt
