Etymology
[ 'h&l ] (noun.) before 12th century. Middle English hul 'seed covering; ship's body', from Old English hulu 'seed covering', from Proto-Germanic *xulus (compare German Hülle, Hülse 'cover, veil'), perhaps from Proto-Indo-European *kal- 'hard' (compare Old Irish calad, calath 'hard', Latin callus, callum 'rough skin', Old Church Slavonic калити (kaliti) 'to cool, harden', Albanian akull 'ice', Sanskrit kíṇas 'callus'). For sense development, compare French coque 'nutshell' > 'ship's hull', Ancient Greek φάσηλος (phasēlos) 'bean pod' > 'yacht'.
