Definition of wholesomeness

wholesomenessnoun

sự lành mạnh

/ˈhəʊlsəmnəs//ˈhəʊlsəmnəs/

The word "wholesomeness" has its roots in Old English. The adjective "whole" meant "entire, complete, untouched" and "some" means "quality, condition". So, "wholesomeness" originally referred to the state of being complete, entire, or unadulterated. This sense of completeness and integrity became associated with moral and ethical qualities, implying that something wholesome was good, pure, and free from corruption. In the 14th century, the word "wholesomeness" took on a broader meaning, encompassing not only physical but also moral and spiritual integrity. It described something that was healthful, beneficial, and virtuous. Today, the word is often used to describe qualities such as honesty, kindness, and sincerity, which are essential for building strong relationships and living a fulfilling life.
