+

+ ==Etymology==

+ It is formed from [[m|la|sānus|t=healthy, sound]] with the verb ending [[m|la|-ō]].^(OLD 2012)^(Wiktionary)^(de Vaan 2008) De Vaan traces ⟨sānus⟩ to [[itc-pro|*sāno-]], and calls the reconstruction [[ine-pro|*seh₂-no-]] purely mechanical: it may come from a root “to tie”, as “in place, in order”, or from the root of [[m|la|satis|t=enough]].^(de Vaan 2008)

+

+ ==Earliest recorded meaning==

+ De Vaan gives Caecilius Statius as its first author, in whose comedies it is to heal a patient.^(de Vaan 2008)^(OLD 2012)^(Köbler 2010)

+

+ ==Semantic evolution==

+ It is to cure a person or the body, to heal a disease or wound, as Cicero's sudden swelling of the eyes that is quickly cured, and the physician's aim, to heal.^(OLD 2012)^(Lewis & Short 1879) Figuratively it is to bring a person or mind to reason, as Cicero's calming of minds by speech, and to correct harmful tendencies or put right a loss or error, as the wicked wishes that Cicero could neither cure nor remove.^(OLD 2012)

+ Church Latin glosses it “heal, cure, restore to health”.^(Stelten 1995)
