Unknown, no known cognates outside Germanic. Perhaps from Proto-Indo-European*h₂el-, *leyH-(“to bend”). A relationship with Latin lituus is sometimes suggested, but is doubtful as it is likely a loanword from Etruscan. Given the variety of forms, which are difficult to reconcile as inherited, origin in a substrate language is possible.
