Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *solh₂-, but Matasović and others list entirely different cognate sets to each other:

• Matasović lists Latin sōlor (“to comfort, soothe”), Ancient Greek ἱλάσκομαι (hiláskomai, “to appease”) and Gothic 𐍃𐌴𐌻𐍃 (sēls, “good, kind”);
• Delamarre lists Latin salvus, Ancient Greek ὅλος (hólos), and Sanskrit सर्व (sarva), all meaning "whole".
