(salubrious)
health-promoting
Etymology
'salubrious' originates from Latin, specifically the word 'salubris', where 'salus' meant 'health'.
'salubrious' changed from the Latin word 'salubris' and entered English in the mid-17th century as 'salubrious', borrowed directly from Latin usage rather than through a Germanic intermediary.
Initially, it meant 'healthful' or 'promoting health'; over time it has retained that core sense but is also used more broadly to mean 'wholesome' or 'beneficial'.
