Morphology

wellness = (transparent) = well + ness

The word 'wellness' is transparently derived from 'well' with the addition of the suffix '-ness', indicating a state or quality. [Postprocessing: moved 'well' from base_words to prefix]

Etymology

Wellness comes from the everyday word well ('in good health') plus the ending -ness that turns a quality into a 'state'. So, wellness is the state of being healthy and actively caring for your body and mind.
