Etymology
The word 'wholesome' originates from the Old English term 'hal' or 'halig,' which means 'whole' or 'healthy,' combined with the suffix '-some' that denotes 'having the quality of' or 'causing.' Over time, 'wholesome' came to describe things that promote health and moral goodness. The use of 'wholesomest' as the superlative form emphasizes the highest degree of these positive qualities. Historically, wholesome was used to define not just physical well-being but also moral health, reflecting cultural values around purity and virtue. By the 15th century, 'wholesome' was firmly established in the English language, with its variant forms evolving through continued usage in literature and everyday conversation. Today, 'wholesomest' is commonly used in discussions surrounding food, lifestyle choices, and community values.
