====Hebrew ''qodesh''====

====Hebrew ''qodesh''====

The Old English word is ''halig'', "holy, consecrated, sacred; godly; ecclesiastical," from the Proto-Germanic ''hailaga'', the source also of Old Norse ''heilagr'', Danish ''hellig'', Old Frisian ''helich'' "holy," Old Saxon ''helag'', Middle Dutch ''helich'', Old High German ''heilag'', German ''heilig'', Gothic ''hailags'' "holy"), from Proto-Indoeuropean ''kailo'', "whole, uninjured" (related to "[[health]]"). The primary probable [[secular]] meaning, "that must be preserved whole or intact, that cannot be transgressed or violated," is connected with Old English ''hal'' (related to "health") and Old High German ''heil'' "health, happiness, good luck" (source of the German salutation "Heil'''!'''").<ref>[https://www.etymonline.com/word/Holy holy (adj.) - etymonline.com]</ref>
