Where did the word hygiene come from?

The word "hygiene" originates from the Greek word "hygieinos", which means "healthy" or "wholesome." It is derived from the name of the Greek goddess of health and cleanliness, Hygieia, who was the daughter of the god of medicine, Asclepius. The term "hygiene" was first used in English in the 16th century to refer to the art of preserving health. It later became associated with the science of cleanliness and sanitation, encompassing a wide range of practices aimed at preventing disease and promoting good health.
