vel

1. or; and/or
2. even

Pronounced as (IPA)

[ˈwɛɫ]

Etymology

From earlier *well, from *wels, from *welsi (“you wish”), thus originally the second-person singular present active indicative form of volō (“I will, I wish”). The semantic development may have been helped by the fortuitous similarity to -ve.
