Etîmolojî (Îngilîzî)

Ca. 1900, of uncertain origin. The two main theories are:
* From the adjective knollig (“bulbous”, archaically “ruff, boorish”). Also attested with umlaut as knöllicht.
* From Central Franconian Knünich (“canon, kind of clergyman”, figuratively “withdrawn, somber person”), from Old High German canunih (12th c.), from Latin canonicus. A form with /l/ appears to be unattested in the dialects, but is easily explained through dissimilation.
