vel

(Anglais)

  1. or; and/or
  2. even

Prononcé comme (IPA)
[ˈwɛɫ]
Étymologie (Anglais)

From earlier *well, from *wels, from *welsi (“you wish”), thus originally the second-person singular present active indicative form of volō (“I will, I wish”). The semantic development may have been helped by the fortuitous similarity to -ve.
