Etymology[edit]
From Old Norse hlé, from Proto-Germanic *hlewą, cognate with English lee, Dutch lij, and German Lee. The adjective is probably originally a different derivation from the same root: Old Norse hlær, from Proto-Germanic *hlējaz (“warm”), compare also *hlēwaz (“warm”), which is the source of Icelandic hlár, English lew, Dutch lauw, and German lau. These words go back to Proto-Indo-European *ḱelh₁-, cf. Latin caleō (“be hot”), calidus (“hot”), Lithuanian šil̃tas (“warm”).
