Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.
Etymology: Cognate with Old Frisian ēthel , ēdel , ōthol , Old Saxon ōðil , Old High German uodal , uodil , Old Icelandic óðal , Old Swedish ōþol , ōþal , ōdhel (Swedish odal ), Old Danish (in compounds) ōthæl- (Danish odel ), all in sense ‘native land, homeland, ancestral land, patrimony’, and also with the second element of Gothic haimōþli ancestral land or estate < an ablaut variant (lengthened o -grade) of the Germanic base of athel n.1 + the Germanic base of -le suffix 1.In Old English usually a strong masculine; occasionally also attested as a strong neuter. The Old English word shows i-mutation of ō to ōē (late West Saxon ē ) due to the vowel of the suffix. The umlauted vowel ōē is occasionally spelt æ , and early attestations of forms such as æþel probably reflect this. Later, especially in early Middle English, such forms appear to show the influence of the cognate athel n.1 (Old English æþelu ). In Old English also the name of a rune (occasionally used in Anglo-Saxon manuscripts as a logogram for the word). The forms oedil and oðil are attested only as names of the rune in continental copies of English runic futharks, and it is not clear to what extent they should be taken as authentic forms of the English word. The word was revived in historical use in the 19th cent., and interpreted as having a quasi-legal significance (probably influenced by the concept of udal n. 3) that it did not have in Old English.
Now rare (historical in later use).
Formerly: †a person's home country or native land, a homeland (obsolete). Also (in later use only): a person's ancestral land or estate, a patrimony.
