Origin

The word "health" comes from the Proto-Germanic root meaning "whole," which entered English through Middle and Old English forms related to being sound or uninjured. It is essentially a variation of the older words "hale" and "wholesome," evolving specifically into the modern concept of physical well-being over time.
