In summary

From Middle High German veile, from Old High German feili (“for sale”), from Proto-West Germanic *failī. Possibly merged with a descendant of Proto-Germanic *falaz, but this is uncertain. Old High German fali is only attested once in a text that uses ai for ei, thus quite plausibly a mere scribal error (regarding also that short a should be umlauted to e). Cognate with Dutch veil. From *falaz stems Old Norse falr (whence Norwegian Nynorsk fal, Swedish fal). The latter is related with Old Church Slavonic плѣнъ (plěnŭ, “booty”), Ancient Greek πωλέω (pōléō, “sell”).
