The word Good is derived from the word God

(I had to think about the wording of that sentence very carefully )

Supposed to be a myth.

Good does not come from God, but probably from Old English gōd, which is not the same. Before 900; Middle English (adj., adv., and noun); Old English gōd (adj.); cognate with Dutch goed, German gut, Old Norse gōthr, Gothic goths. The first hand-written English language Bible manuscripts were produced in the 1380's by Wycliffe from the Latin Vulgate, so you can draw your own conclusions. (et vidit Deus lucem quod esset bona et divisit lucem ac tenebras: And God saw the light, that it was good: and divided the light from the darkness. Gen 1:4) The word God comes from the IndoEuropean root gal- "to call out.[1] However, ProtoSemetic root found in Hebrew was there as such in Proto-Semitic "*ח ד ה , GH D H (accentuated vowel)". I don't know if that is significant. Many religions have malevolent gods as well as good ones.

Good: from Old English gōd (with a long "o") "virtuous; desirable; valid; considerable," probably originally "having the right or desirable quality," from Proto-Germanic *gothaz (cognates: Old Norse goðr, Dutch goed, Old High German guot, German gut, Gothic goþs), originally "fit, adequate, belonging together," from PIE root *ghedh- "to unite, be associated, suitable"(cognates: Old Church Slavonic godu "pleasing time," Russian godnyi "fit, suitable," Old English gædrian "to gather, to take up together"). As an expression of satisfaction, from early 15c.; of children, "well-behaved," by 1690s. - Etymonline

The alleged Indo-European “root” of "good" is ghedh (to unite, join, fit). That which is united is "good". according to the Encyclopedia of Indo-European Culture, Gothic goþs meant "good, kind, beautiful", but gives no date.

The word probably negates anything your quotation supposes.

I maintain my position.

So the word gōd meaning good dates to around 900 while the word god meaning the sky fairy dates to around 1300. Do you see the problem with that?
