-elssuffix

Primary stress is retained by the usual stressed syllable of the preceding element and vowels may be reduced accordingly; see e.g. rendles n.

Forms: Old English -els.

Origin: An element inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: In Old English -els, representing Germanic *-islo-z, -*islo(m, *-isljo(m. Forming instrumental nouns or verbal abstracts, chiefly from verbs in Germanic *-jan.

Forming instrumental nouns or verbal abstracts, chiefly from verbs. The suffix was very common in Old English, as in gyrdels (in Epinal Glossary gyrdisl, -ils) girdle, byrgels (buriels n.) tomb, græfels quarry, ríecels (rechels n.) incense, rǽdels riddle n.¹ The few words of this type that have survived into modern English have lost their final s, owing to the original forms having been mistaken for plurals: see -le suffix.
