Origin: Apparently a borrowing from early Scandinavian.

Etymology: Apparently < early Scandinavian (compare Old Icelandic (late) aflangr, Danish aflang , Old Swedish aflanger (Swedish aflång ); compare German ablang (17th cent.)), which perhaps shows remodelling of classical Latin oblongus oblong adj. after forms in the Scandinavian languages of of prep. and long adj.¹ Compare earlier eavelong adj.The Middle English forms show lengthening of the vowel in the first syllable, apparently as a result of open syllable lengthening after the introduction of an epenthetic vowel between v and l . The form ovelong reflects remodelling of the first element after of- prefix in Middle English.

Now rare (English regional in later use).
