Etymology

Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₂peh₃lH-, a compound of *h₂epó (off, away) + *h₃elh₁- (to fall). Cognate with Latvian pult (to fall (obsolete)), {{cog}prg|aupallai|t=finds}}; outside of Baltic, compare Proto-Germanic *fallaną (to fall) (whence English fall), Ancient Greek ᾰ̓πόλλῡμῐ (apóllūmi, to destroy, ruin).[1]
