Etymology edit
ym- + deol (“to banish”). The latter component is from Proto-Celtic *de-eks-el (“to drive out”), from *de- + *exs- (“ex-”) + *ela- (“to drive”), the latter which is from Proto-Indo-European *h₁elh₂- (“to drive, move, go, start”) and which is cognate with Old Irish ad-ellaim, Ancient Greek ἐλαύνω (elaúnō, “to drive, set in motion”), Proto-Germanic *lanō (“lane”).
