bell

bell
\ \ [OE] The Old English word was belle. Apart from Dutch bel it has no relatives in the other main European languages (many of them use words related to English clock for ‘bell’: French cloche, for instance, and German glocke). It has been speculated that it may be connected with the verb bell, used of the baying call made by a hound or stag, which itself is perhaps related to bellow, a descendant of a hypothetical Old English *belgan. The ultimate source may possibly be the same as for bellows.
\ \ Cf.⇒ BELLOW
