sanus
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”),[2] and compare it to Ancient Greek σῶς (sôs), Dutch zoen (“kiss”) and gezond (“healthy”), German Sühne (“atonement”) and gesund (“healthy”).
Others, such as Alberto Nocentini, consider the term an isolate, with no extra-Italic cognates.
