Etymology

As an ongoing pursuit of what the word wealth means to people I looked up it’s etymology. While there are more recent inclinations to associate the word wealth with money and fortunes, the origins of the word is actually linked to health and well-being.

In fact, wealth was once an analogy for health.

Which made me think (cliché-ly): isn’t our greatest wealth our health?
