Etymology
The word 'blissing' is derived from the Old English word 'blēdsian', which means 'to consecrate, or to make holy'. The root 'bliss' has a connection to the Proto-Germanic 'blithiz', which means 'joyful' or 'carefree'. Over centuries, the term evolved in both religious and secular contexts, referring to a state of happiness linked to being favored or blessed by the divine. By the time of Middle English, the concept encapsulated both physical and spiritual well-being, often associated with fortunate circumstances or grace from a higher power. The usage of 'blissing' in modern contexts reflects a holistic understanding of divine favor affecting one’s state of happiness and fulfillment.
