Etîmolojî (Îngilîzî)

Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *h₂welh₁- (“hair, wool”), and connected to Latin lāna (“wool”) and Gaulish vlana. This is favored by Meiser, but rejected by Schrijver and De Vaan, the latter who instead proposes the word as a derivative of vellō (“to pluck out”).
