Etymology edit
Perhaps from Proto-West Germanic *silōþu, from a verb derived from Proto-Germanic *silāną (“to be still, be silent”) + -oþ; or perhaps from Proto-Germanic *silōþuz. If so, then related to Old Norse sil (“slowly or calmly flowing water between two falls in a stream”), Gothic 𐌰𐌽𐌰𐍃𐌹𐌻𐌰𐌽 (anasilan, “to cease, stop, fall silent”), Old English sālnes (“silence”).
