hoveln.¹

/ˈhɒv(ə)l/

/ˈhʌv(ə)l/

Forms: Also Middle English -yl, Middle English–1600s -ell, 1500s -elle.

Etymology: Known from 15th cent.: origin uncertain. A conjectured derivation < Old English hof court, dwelling, with Romanic suffix -el, is etymologically and chronologically inadmissible. Heyne, in Grimm, favours a connection with Middle High German hobel ‘cover, covering, lid’: if this word occurred in Low German, its form would be *hovel, but it does not seem to be known, so that the connection is not made out. Another conjecture is an Anglo-Norman *huvel, whence Old French huvelet ‘petit toit en saillie’ (Godefroy).
