Where this word comes from

Uncertain; one common hypothesis is a borrowing from Frankish *falljō. A derivation from fel (“bile”) has also been suggested (said by the Oxford English Dictionary to be “the most probable”). A third hypothesis is a derivation as an obscene term of abuse from the verb in 'Etymology 1'.
