Kass sums up this Greek understanding of health by defining it as a natural as opposed to a moral norm that reveals itself in activity as a standard of bodily excellence or fitness. The Greek terms, in contrast, stress the functioning of the whole, and not only its working but its working well. The English emphasis on wholeness, Kass also notes, is comparatively static and structural, implying a whole distinct from all else and complete in itself and connoting self-sufficiency and independence.
Health for the ancient Greeks was a state or condition unrelated to, and prior to, both illness and healers. In addition, the Greek terms for health, unlike the English, are unrelated to all the verbs for healing. This is also true for German, Latin, and Hebrew. Ancient Greek had two words generally translated as "health": hygieia, meaning "a well way of living," and euexia, meaning "good habit of body." Leon Kass (1985) notes that the English and both Greek words for health are totally unrelated to all the words for disease, illness, and sickness. The English word health literally means wholeness and to heal means to make whole.
