Nguồn gốc từ

sḗh₂l From Middle English silte, cilte, cylte, perhaps from Middle English silen ("to filter; strain"; equivalent to sile + -t), or cognate with Norwegian and Danish sylt (salt marsh), sulte salt-marsh, Sülze meat in aspic, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *sultijō (salty water; brine). Related to sealt salt.
