Etymology

The word copacetic may come from American slang, and one popular idea links it to Hebrew kol beseder meaning 'all is in order', while others say it comes from African American or Creole speech. A helpful way to remember it is to think 'all set' or 'everything's fine', which is exactly what copacetic means.
