Etymology

From Proto-Italic *solom (“base, sole”), from Proto-Indo-European *solom or *selom (“place, habitation”). Cognate with Lithuanian salà (“island”), Proto-Slavic *selo (“village”) and Proto-Germanic *saliz (“house, dwelling; hall, room”). Related to Latin solea (“sandal, hoof-guard, fettle”).
