Why this word is great

WARISH — [Verb] To cure or heal an illness or a person, or to recover from an illness. From Middle English warysshen, from Anglo-Norman waris- (stem of warir), from Old French guarir (modern guérir, "to heal"), from Frankish *warjan, from Proto-Germanic *warjaną ("to ward off, defend"). Unlike 'heal,' a general term for restoration, or 'convalesce,' a passive journey toward strength, to warish is an active, defensive campaign against infirmity. It is the poultice drawing poison from a wound, the bitter draught administered at dawn, or the deliberate knitting of a clean bone—a quiet victory of life over a besieging malady, a vigilant guardianship over the body's fragile precinct.
