Etymology

1. From a merger of two nouns of similar meaning, which came to be pronounced the same in West Saxon because of a sound change whereby -þl and -þm became -tl and -tm in some words (cf. botl, botm):
2. * Proto-West Germanic *seþl
3. * Proto-West Germanic *setl, from Proto-Germanic *setlaz.
