Origin:
The word "wholeness" derives from the Old English adjective "hāl," meaning "whole, entire, sound." This term originated from the Proto-Germanic root *hailaz, which also gave rise to the English words "hale" and "healthy."
The ultimate origin of *hailaz can be traced back to the Proto-Indo-European root *ḱeyl-, meaning "to be whole or sound." This root is also found in other Indo-European languages, such as Greek (holos) and Latin (salvus).
Over time, the meaning of "hāl" expanded from physical wholeness to encompass mental and emotional completeness as well. By the 14th century, the term "wholeness" had emerged as a noun referring specifically to the state or quality of being whole.
