Etymology

Derived from Old English gōd, meaning "virtuous, desirable, valid," which traces back to Proto-Germanic gōdaz (fitting, suitable). The word has retained its core meaning of "positive quality" across millennia, evolving to encompass moral, practical, and commercial contexts. Its simplicity reflects its ancient roots as a fundamental concept in Germanic languages.
