Etymology
From Proto-Balto-Slavic *edlis, considered by Pokorny to be from Proto-Indo-European *h₁edʰ- (“sharp, pointy”);[1] however, this is rejected by Genaust.[2] It could instead be a borrowing from a European substrate.[3]
Baltic cognates include Lithuanian ẽglė, Latvian egle, Old Prussian addle.
