Derived from the Middle English words 'well' (from Old English 'wel', meaning satisfactorily or properly) and 'being' (from Old English 'bēon', meaning to exist or be). Historically used to denote a state of health, happiness, and prosperity, it has evolved in modern socio-economic and public policy contexts to encompass holistic physical, mental, and social wellness, directly mirroring concepts like samagra-kalyan.
