There are numerous pairs of words in English that have precisely identical pronunciations but different meanings. These pairs are called homonyms. These pairs of words can confuse the listeners because they might think of another word of the set once the speaker means yet another. That is the difficulty between the heel and heal that have the same pronunciation but different meanings. We are going to discuss it with examples as today’s topic is heel vs heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Heel”<\/strong> originates from the Old English’ hela<\/em>‘. ‘Hela<\/em>‘ derives from the Proto Germanic’ hanhilon<\/em>,’ which arises from the word ‘kenk<\/em>‘ meaning ‘heel, bend of the knee<\/em>.’ The word is being used as a verb to express ‘attaching a heel to something<\/em>‘ since about 1600 and as a ‘call for a dog to stay by a person’s heels<\/em>‘ since 1810.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Heal” <\/strong>originates from Old English’ h\u00e6lan<\/em>‘ meaning ‘cure; save; make whole, sound and well<\/em>. ‘H\u00e6lan’ arises from the Proto Germanic’ hailjan<\/em>,’ which accurately translates into ‘make whole<\/em>‘ and comes from the word ‘kailo<\/em>‘ meaning ‘whole<\/em>.’<\/p>\n\n\n\nHeel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
