Etymology 2

edit

Of unclear origin. Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *gʷelHo-, from *gʷel- (to dribble; gush forth; spring; squirt; throw), and thus cognate with गल् (gal, to drip) and German quellen ((of water) to well, issue forth). A local substrate origin is possible, though quite unlikely due to the word being attested in Vedic texts and lacking typical substrate features (e.g. retroflexion, variation between aspirated and deaspirated forms). Related to Vedic Sanskrit जलाष (jalāṣa), of uncertain meaning; not related to Latin gelū (frost).
