Etymology
In summary
From Middle High German unholde, from Old High German unholdo, from Proto-West Germanic *unholþō, from Proto-Germanic *unhulþô. The regional sense “rascal” is chiefly from Low German (Middle Low German unholt). It is possible that the word was influenced here by unrelated holden (“to hold”), thus with the notion of “someone unheld, ungovernable”. Compare the synonym Unband.
