Where this word comes from
Unknown, but likely related to Old Prussian addle (“spruce, fir”), Latvian egle (“spruce, fir”), Lithuanian ẽglė (“spruce”), Proto-Slavic *ȅdlь (“spruce”) (from Proto-Balto-Slavic *edlis), potentially from Proto-Indo-European *h₁edʰ-l-. Perhaps (though less likely) related to Gaulish odocos (“elder”), whence Late Latin odecus, odicus and Old High German attuh, attah (“dwarf-elder, danewort”) (modern German Attich), from the same root *h₁edʰ-; however, Pokorny's derivation of this term from a root meaning “pointy” (stechend in the original German) is very unlikely. In the absence of a solid Indo-European etymology, it may thus be a European substrate word.
