Etymology
1. First attested in 1657. Borrowed from New Latin sylphes, coined by Paracelsus in the 16th century. The coinage may derive from Latin sylvestris (“of the woods”) and nympha (“nymph”), or otherwise Ancient Greek σίλφη (sílphē, “beetle”).
2. More at sylph. See: Latin Nouns '
sylvestris', Ancient Greek Nouns '
σίλφη'.
