Etymology
From Late Old Swedish adel, adhal, earlier aþal, aþul, aþol, aþel, aþil, from Old Norse aðal, from Proto-Germanic *aþalą. The word was heavily influenced by Middle Low German adel (“noble descent; nobility”), from Old Saxon athal, from Proto-Germanic *aþalaz (whence also Old Swedish aþal-). Related to German Adel and English athel. Compare also Icelandic aðall (“nobility”). See: Old Norse Nouns '
aðal', Icelandic Nouns '
aðall'.
