pullian

Old English

Etymology

Uncertain. Garnett compares Latin vello (“I pluck out, I pull”), from Proto-Indo-European *welh₃-.[1] However, compare pluccian (“to pluck, pull out”).

Cognate with Middle Low German pūlen (“to shell, husk, pluck”), Middle Dutch pōlen (“to shell, husk”), Icelandic púla (“to work hard”).
