Ετυμολογία (Αγγλικός)

Traditionally from sollus (“whole, entire”) + annus (“year”), but the dissimilation within a geminate this requires is bizarre. Szemerényi proposes an old middle participle of soleo but has difficulty accounting for the geminate ll. Nussbaum offers sollus + epulum (“feast, banquet”), taking the latter component to have originally meant "ritual", with dissimilation ll...l > ll...n.
