Where this word comes from
Possibly a denominal of Proto-Italic *anaslos, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂enh₁-slo- (“a breathing”, whence Latin anhēlus), from the root *h₂enh₁- (“to breathe”). More specifically, the pre-form *anaslos would have syncopated into *ansl-, whence later *ālā-. The initial /h-/ is unexpected and probably onomatopoeic. Ultimately akin to animus (“spirit”).
