Where this word comes from
PIE word *swé The word has baffled etymologists for generations. Traditionally explained from earlier *swolos, from Proto-Italic *swelos, from Proto-Indo-European *swé (reflexive pronoun) (whence se (“oneself”)) + *-los, hence meaning "by oneself". De Vaan and other modern researchers, skeptical of the traditional explanation, refer it to the root *solh₂- (“whole, healthy”), which would make it akin to sollus and salvus.
