Etymology

[edit]

Literally, end good, all good.

Used as the title of the German translation of William Shakespeare's play All's Well That Ends Well and likely reinforced in use thereby. However, the claim made in some sources that this translation is the actual origin is false, as the saying is attested in German before Shakespeare.
