Latin

Etymology

From a lengthened o-grade of Proto-Indo-European *selh₂- (mercy, comfort). Cognate with Ancient Greek ἱλάσκομαι (hiláskomai, to appease) and perhaps Old Armenian աղաչեմ (ałačʻem, to pray). The traditional comparison by Pokorny to Proto-Germanic *sēliz (happy, kind, fortunate) (whence English silly) does not seem to be supported by later linguists.
