From Proto-Germanic *kweldą, *kwildiz. Akin to Old English cwild (“downfall, death”), cwyldtīd (“evening”), Old High German quiltiwerc (“evening work”), dialectal German Kilt. Originally literally “the quelling [of day]”, and exists also in the form kveld dags, usually with the preposition at: at kveldi dags (originally literally “at the end or quelling of the day”, hence “in the evening”). Related to kvelja, Old English cwellan, English quell, kill.
Noun
kveld n (genitive kvelds, plural kveld)
