Etymology
In summary
From Middle High German vels, from Old High German felis, from Proto-West Germanic *falis, from Proto-Germanic *falisaz, from Proto-Indo-European *pels-, *pelis- (“rock, cliff”). Compare Old Norse fjall (“rock, mountain”), Ancient Greek πέλλα (pélla, “stone”), Old Irish ail (“cliff”). The variant Felsen emerged from the oblique cases.
