Etymology
Either from an unattested *eol + -et (as in þiccet (“thicket”)), or most likely from a variant of *ēalēt from ēa (“water”) + ġelēt, ġelǣt (“connector, conduit”) from lǣtan (“to let, leave, allow, permit”), compare also wæterġelǣt (“water-course, aqueduct”), ġeoclet (“land measure, small estate”).
