Etimologie (Engels)

Uncertain. According to De Vaan, from Proto-Italic *falsō, from Proto-Indo-European *(s)gʷʰh₂el- (“to stumble”) (with semantic shift "stumble" > "deceive"), and cognate with Sanskrit स्खल् (skhal, “to stumble, fail”), Persian سکرفیدن (sekarfidan, “to stumble”), Ancient Greek σφάλλω (sphállō, “to bring down”), σφάλλομαι (sphállomai, “to fall”), Old Armenian սխալեմ (sxalem, “to stumble, fail”).
Formerly considered to be from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰwel- (“to lie, deceive”), but this does not account for the /a/.
