sweotol

Old English[edit]

From Proto-West Germanic *switul, from Proto-Germanic *switulaz (“clear; evident”), possibly from an early merging of Proto-Germanic *sw- (“self”) from Proto-Indo-European *swō + witan (“to know”), from Proto-Germanic *witaną, with the suffix +‎ -ol (“prone to doing”) from Proto-Germanic *-ulaz (adjective suffix), with the general meaning "self-knowable", thus "evident", however possible derivatives such as *witulaz, *witol (evident) and *switaną, *switan (to know oneself) do not exist outside of this adjective.
