Этимология

[ hOl ] (adjective.) before 12th century. From Middle English hool (“healthy, unhurt, whole”), from Old English hāl (“healthy, safe”), from Proto-Germanic *hailaz (“whole, safe, sound”) (compare Dutch heel, German heil, Danish hel), from Proto-Indo-European *kóhₐilus (“healthy, whole”), Welsh coel 'omen', Breton kel 'omen, mention', Old Prussian kails 'healthy', Old Church Slavonic cĕlŭ 'healthy, unhurt', Ancient Greek koîlu 'good'). Related to hale, health, and heal. The spelling with wh-, introduced in the 15th century, was for disambiguation with hole.
