Etymology

The word "wholeness" derives from the Old English "hāl" (meaning "whole, sound, healthy"), which evolved into Middle English "hol" or "hole." The suffix "-ness" (from Old English "-nes") is added to form an abstract noun indicating a state or quality. The concept of "wholeness" reflects the idea of integrity, unity, or completeness, often used in both physical and metaphysical contexts.
