Etymology

[edit]

From an earlier *pëdyll, borrowed from Late Latin padūlem (“swamp”), from a metathesis of Latin palūdem. Compare Romanian pădure, which shows the same change in meaning. Compare also Italian padule, which keeps the Latin sense.[1] Otherwise cognate or derived from Ancient Greek φύλλον (phúllon, “leaf”) or Latin folium (“leaf”).
