核心畫面

One way to hold this word: something whole, with no crack and no gap in it. A night's sleep with no waking in the middle. A wall with no weak brick. A defeat with no room left to argue. Every use is the same shape — nothing missing.

可以想成:一個完整的東西,上面沒有裂縫、沒有缺口。一夜的睡眠中間沒有醒過來;一面牆裡沒有一塊鬆掉的磚;一場敗仗沒有留更多收起可以想成:一個完整的東西,上面沒有裂縫、沒有缺口。一夜的睡眠中間沒有醒過來;一面牆裡沒有一塊鬆掉的磚;一場敗仗沒有留下可以爭的餘地。三種用法其實是同一個形狀——沒有缺的那一塊。

From the word’s history

It is sound plus -ly, and the Old English ancestor ġesundlīċe meant safely or in good health; the modern senses appear from the sixteenth century. Whole and unharmed is still the picture underneath.

這個字可以想成 sound 加上 -ly。古英文的 ġesundlīċe 原本是「平安地、健康地」,現在這幾個意思是十六世紀以後才出現的。「整個好好的、沒有受損」這個底子一直沒變。
