Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term combines 'holistic,' derived from the Greek 'holos' meaning 'whole' (coined in 1926 by Jan Smuts in the context of holism), with 'health,' originating from the Old English 'hǣlþ' meaning 'wholeness, being whole or sound.' The compound evolved in the late 20th century to describe an approach to medicine and well-being that emphasizes the connection of mind, body, and spirit.
