Word origin

The word 'well' originates from the Old English 'wella', which means a spring or a well of water. It is related to the Proto-Germanic 'waltha' and has cognates in several languages, such as the Old High German 'wella' and the Dutch 'wal'. The verb form 'to well' as in 'to rise or to flow' dates back to Middle English, with its usage becoming more prominent in the 14th century. It initially referred to the action of water emerging from a source but has since expanded to include metaphorical uses, especially in expressing emotions. The past tense 'welled' reflects this evolution, illustrating how language adapts to encompass both tangible and intangible experiences.
