Where this word comes from

hulder (“hulder”) + -en (“characterized by, resembling”). The adjective-forming suffix is inherited from Proto-Germanic *-īnaz (“belonging to, characterized by, made of”). The base hulder ultimately belongs to the family of Old Norse hylja (“to hide”), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱel- (“to hide”). First attested in 1850. Compare Norwegian Nynorsk huldren (“bewitched, strange”).
