語源 3

The noun is from 中期英語 spelt, from 古期英語 spelt, connected with the verb. Compare speld and German Spelze (“husk”).

The adjective is from 中期英語 spelt, probably a contraction of spelked, past participle of spelken (“to bruise (beans)”), itself of obscure origin. Compare Scots spilkings (“split peas”), the later verb, and perhaps also splet.

The verb is probably from the adjective. Compare earlier spald, speld.
