Proto-Slavic

[edit]

Etymology

[edit]

Probably from Proto-Germanic *fattilaz (fettle) via i-umlaut on the root vowel. Less likely, continuing Proto-Indo-European *pet- (to replicate, to span) + *-ьlъ. Most descendants reflect the extension *petьľa, equivalent to *petьlъ +‎ *-ja.

Polish and Slovene forms have been reanalyzed as *pętъľa[1] (or *pǫtъľa) as if from *pęto (fetter) +‎ *-ъlъ +‎ *-ja.

Noun

[edit]

  1. loop, knot
    Synonyms: *ǫzlъ, *vьrzopъ, *primъka
  2. picklock
  3. (by extension) ornament, decoration
