What is the root word for good?

The root word for "good" is "god".

This might seem surprising, but it's true! The word "good" comes from the Proto-Germanic word "gōþ", which is related to the Old English word "god" meaning "good".

Interestingly, the word "god" (referring to a deity) also comes from this same root.

This shared origin reflects the ancient concept of "good" being associated with divine power and favor.
