sielu

Finnish

Etymology

Probably from Baltic *sḗjlā (compare Lithuanian siela), along with other Finnish loanwords from Baltic languages of the same thematic group, see etymology sections of e.g.taivas (“heaven”), Jumala (“God”). Another line of explanation links the word with Germanic language (compare Swedish själ, German Seele and English soul).
