Etymology

[edit]

From Old Norse hlé, from Proto-Germanic *hlewą, cognate with English lee, Dutch lij, and German Lee. The adjective is probably originally a different derivation from the same root: Old Norse hlær, from Proto-Germanic *hlējaz (warm), compare also *hlēwaz (warm), which is the source of Icelandic hlár, English lew, Dutch lauw, and German lau. These words go back to Proto-Indo-European *ḱelh₁-, cf. Latin caleō (be hot), calidus (hot), Lithuanian šil̃tas (warm).
