Etymology of HAEL

The word "hael" is derived from the Old English word "hǣlan", which means "to heal, cure, deliver, or save". This Old English term can be traced back to the Proto-Germanic word "*hailijaną", meaning "to make whole or sound". Furthermore, this Proto-Germanic word is connected to the Proto-Indo-European root "*kóleyti", which carries the idea of "wholeness, soundness, and well-being". Over time, the word "hael" has evolved into its current form in Modern English, retaining its fundamental meaning of healing and wholeness.
