Root Explanation

Wholehearted → It is formed from "whole" (from Old English *hal*, meaning complete or uninjured) and "hearted" (from "heart", meaning the organ or metaphorically the center of emotion). The word "wholehearted" means fully committed or sincere, as if one is giving their entire heart to something.

Memory Tip

Think of being 'complete' ('whole') and giving your 'heart' to something — that's why wholehearted means being fully committed.
