Etymology of HALO

The word "halo" has its origins in the Greek word "halōs" (ἅλως) which means "threshing floor" or "disk of the sun or moon". In ancient Greece, the term was used to describe the circle of light that was created around the sun or moon when it was reflected on the threshing floor, a circular area where crops were beat and cleaned.
