Did you know?
When you need a word to describe someone or something in good 
health, you might pick "hale" or a synonym such as "healthy," "sound," 
or "robust." Of those terms, "healthy" is the most general, implying full 
strength and vigor or simply freedom from signs of disease. "Sound" 
generally emphasizes the complete absence of defects of mind or body. 
"Robust" implies the opposite of all that is delicate or sickly and usually 
suggests muscular strength as well as the ability to work or play long 
and hard. "Hale" applies especially to robustness in later life. The phrase 
"hale and hearty" is often used to describe an older person who retains 
the physical qualities of youth.
