Wholeness

/ˈhoʊlnəs/ noun

Definition

The state of being complete and not missing any parts. It can also mean feeling balanced and healthy in body or mind.

Etymology

From 'whole' plus the noun-forming suffix '-ness.' 'Whole' is related to Old English 'hāl', meaning 'unhurt' or 'healthy.'

Kelly Says

The idea of 'whole' is tied to 'health'—being whole once meant being unbroken and well. Wholeness isn’t just about having all the pieces; it’s about them fitting together in a healthy way.
