Where this word comes from
Apparently not attested before the 17th century. Derived from ge- + fühlen; compare Gehör, Gesicht (both older). Perhaps a calque of Dutch gevoel. This is slightly earlier (16th c., doubtfully in 1450) and moreover Middle Dutch already made ample use of the nominalized infinitive gevoelen. Earlier High German words were Fühle f (now obsolete) and Fühlung (now in a different sense).
