Esperanto
[edit]Verb
[edit]sanus
- conditional of sani
Latin
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Italic *sānos, from Proto-Indo-European *seh₂-no-, from *seh₂- (“to satisfy”) (or perhaps *seh₂- (“to tie”)).[1]
Alternative theories derive the word from Proto-Indo-European *swā-n- (“healthy; whole; active; vigorous”), and compare it to Ancient Greek σῶς (sôs), Dutch zoen (“kiss”) and gezond (“healthy”), German Sühne (“atonement”) and gesund (“healthy”). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)
Others, such as Alberto Nocentini, consider the term an isolate, with no extra-Italic cognates.
