Noun [Latin]

Etymology: From Proto-Indo-European *syuh₁-dʰleh₂, which consists of the root *syewh₁- (“sew”) and the suffix *-dʰlom (“tool suffix”). This becomes the Latin derivation suō (“to sew”) + -bula. Cognate with Proto-Slavic *šidlo (“awl”) (whence Bulgarian шило (šilo), Czech šídlo, Russian ши́ло (šílo) and others), and with Proto-Germanic *siwjaną (“to sew”). Compare typologically Ancient Greek ῥαφίς (rhaphís) < ῥάπτω (rháptō).
