Etymology
The term 'soulmate' originated from the idea that there is one person out there who is meant for you on a spiritual level. The concept can be traced back to ancient Greek philosophy, where it was believed that humans were originally created with four arms, four legs, and a single head with two faces. Zeus split them in half, condemning them to spend their lives searching for their other halves, their soulmates. Over time, the term has evolved to encompass deep emotional connections between individuals beyond just romantic partnerships.
