Etymology edit
Likely ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *gʷelH- (“to throw”) via Ancient Greek, whence also volō (“to fly”). Possibly derived via Ancient Greek βαλλίζω (ballízō, “to dance, jump about”) found in Sicilian dialects of Magna Graecia; or may merely share a common root, cognate to Ancient Greek βάλλω (bállō, “to throw”). Alternately, maybe related to πάλλω (pállō, “to swing, shake”).
