Etymology

Inherited from Middle High German: senkel

Inherited from Old High German: senkil

In summary

From Middle High German senkel (“net weighed down with lead balls, anchor, lace”), from Old High German senkil (“anchor, cast net”), from an extension of senken with nominalizing suffix -ila, originally meaning "device that one lets sink down"; see Stachel for an analogous noun formation.
