kailo-

PIE base ‘whole, uninjured, of good omen’. See also sol-, root of holism, catholic, and safe.

It seems to be a happy coincidence that the PIE base for health, holy, and whole, through Old High German and Old English, should have a quite different PIE base from all the holo- words, via Greek.

[Pokorny *kai-lo- (kai-lu-), p. 520, ‘bright; safe, hale, healthy’.]

health

The first principle of the Constitution of the World Health Organization (WHO), which it says is basic to the happiness, harmonious relationships, and security of all peoples, is:

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

holy

In Panosophy, which unifies science and spirituality in Wholeness, there is no need to ascribe the attribute holy to any entity. By viewing the Absolute Whole as an aggregation hierarchy, all beings are holons, both wholes and parts of wholes. Thus, nothing and everything is special in the Totality of Existence.

Wholeness

Wholeness is indivisible, as the Authentic Self and Genuine Identity of all beings. There is nothing and nobody outside Wholeness, for Wholeness is all there is. We cannot become Wholeness. Nobody can return Home to Wholeness, for no one has ever left Home. We can only be Wholeness.
