Etymology

[ bol ] (noun.) 13th century. From Middle English bal, ball, balle from Old English *beall(u), *bealla "ball, round object" or Old Norse bøllr or bǫllr (“a ball”) (whence the Icelandic böllur (“scrotum; penis; a ball”)), both from Proto-Germanic *balluz, *ballēn (“ball”) from Proto-Indo-European *bholn- (“bubble”) from PIE base *bhel- (“to blow, inflate, swell”). Akin to Old Saxon ball "ball" (Dutch bal "ball"), Old High German bal, ballo "ball" (German Ball "ball"; Ballen "bale"). Related forms in Romance were borrowed from Germanic. See also balloon, bale.
