assilagn.

Forms: 1600s–1900s assilag, 1700s ashilag, 1800s asailag.

Origin: A borrowing from Scottish Gaelic. Etymon: Scottish Gaelic asaileag

Etymology: < Scottish Gaelic asaileag (also aisileag), of uncertain origin, perhaps < a base of early Scandinavian origin (see note) + Scottish Gaelic -ag, diminutive suffix. G. Henderson Norse Infl. on Celtic Scotl. (1910) 123–4 suggests comparison with the unattested Norn etymon of Shetland Scots asel cold keen wind, struggle against the wind (1908), probably showing a derivative formation from the same Scandinavian base as Norwegian regional asa to storm, roar, to toil, exert oneself (probably ultimately < the same Germanic base as yeast n.); whereas W. B. Lockwood in Sc. Gaelic Stud. 12 (1976) 276–7 posits a possible early Scandinavian *haf-svala , lit. ‘sea-swallow’ (compare haaf n., swallow n.¹). However, neither hypothesis is entirely convincing. Specific forms. The form ashilag reflects the pronunciation of Scottish Gaelic aisileag. Previous versions of the OED give the stress as: ˈassilag.

Dialect name of the Stormy Petrel.
