1、whole 的本义是"完好无损",一家人全从"没受伤"散开:health 健康、heal 治好、holy 神圣、hallow 使神圣、hail 致敬、hale 老当益壮(hale 其实就是 whole 的北方老写法,拼写更存古)。
2、读音和 hole(洞)一模一样,都是 /həʊl/,只能靠意思分开:whole 是完整无缺,hole 是缺了一块。开头的 h 要读出来,别和 hole 混着念。
3、高频说法:on the whole 总体而言、the whole of her life 她的全部人生、two whole days 整整两天。

英语词源

whole
whole: [OE] Whole is at the centre of a tightlyknit family of English words descended from prehistoric Germanic *khailaz ‘undamaged’ (the other members – hail ‘salute’, hale, hallow, heal, health, and holy – have have branched off in different semantic directions, but whole has stayed fairly close to its source). The Germanic form, which also produced German heil, Dutch heel, and Swedish and Danish hel, went back to an Indo-European *qoilos, source also of Russian celyj ‘whole’ and Welsh coel ‘good omen’. Hale [13] originated as a northern variant of whole (whose wh- spelling emerged in the 16th century).

The compound wholesome was probably formed in Old English, but it is not recorded until the 12th century.

=> hail, hale, hallow, heal, health, holy
whole (adj.)
Old English hal "entire, whole; unhurt, uninjured, safe; healthy, sound; genuine, straightforward," from Proto-Germanic *haila- "undamaged" (cognates: Old Saxon hel, Old Norse heill, Old Frisian hal, Middle Dutch hiel, Dutch heel, Old High German, German heil "salvation, welfare"), from PIE *kailo- "whole, uninjured, of good omen" (cognates: Old Church Slavonic celu "whole, complete;" see health).

The spelling with wh- developed early 15c. The sense in whole number is from early 14c. Whole milk is from 1782. On the whole "considering all facts or circumstances" is from 1690s. For phrase whole hog, see hog (n.).
whole (n.)
"entire body or company; the full amount," late 14c., from whole (adj.).
