Emily Dickinson Lexicon

WHOLE, a. [hole; In Sax. walg, onwalg, is whole, sound, entire. In D. heel, geheel, has a like sense, from the root of heal; G. heil; Sw. hel; Dan. heel; W. oll or holl; Gr. ὁλος, ουλος; Ir. uile. This seems to be connected with heal, hale. Of this, the derivative wholesome is evidence. See Class Gl, No. 19, 31, 35.]
