** bless = "to make holy, give thanks" | |||
*** from OE ''blod'' for blood | |||
**** PIE '''*bhel-''' "to thrive, bloom | |||
** blessing = "gift from God" | |||
*** also, "that which gives temporal or spiritual benefit" | |||
** from ME ''blessinge'' and OE ''bletsunga'' | |||
** Latin ''immolare'' for "immolate" or "sacrifice" | |||
*** the relationship is from pagan sacrifice where blood is sprinkled on an alter | |||
*** so "to bless" originates from a ritual act to an invocation of God's blessings | |||
