I will check back on this, but I thought it was a word that witnessed "complete or completed/finished".
MtD...is that what you are bringing forth when you use the word?
If not, what is your meaning behind the word "perfect"?

So when Yeshua commanded us to be perfect even as the Father in Heaven is perfect did he really mean this?
Be ye therefore completed/finished
even as your Father in Heaven is completed/finished
More likely it has the meaning Peter gives to the same concept.
14: As
obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
15: But
as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
16: Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.
1 Peter 1:14-16
It has to do with being like the Father.
