Where this word comes from
Variant of elligar, from Old Norse elligar, elliga, elligi, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *aljaz. Compare Old Swedish älläghis vs ällighis (today Swedish eljest/eljes, elligis, ellix, “otherwise, else, besides”). One theory proposes that the original base word is a compound of elle (compare Old English el-) and an adverbial genitive form of lægi (“position, situation”), roughly in the sense of “in other circumstances” (in essense “otherwise” or “besides”).
