"üsselig" meaning in All languages combined

See üsselig on Wiktionary

Adjective [German]

IPA: /ˈʏzəlɪç/ Forms: üsseliger [masculine, nominative, singular, strong], üsseliger [comparative], am üsseligsten [superlative]
Etymology: From western German dialects (Ripuarian, Low Franconian, Westphalian). Compare Central Franconian Osel, Ussel (“hardship; junk; bad weather”). The also existing adjective onösel (meaning among other things “stupid, naïve”) is probably related to Dutch onnozel, but its connection with the above Osel may be secondary since the Dutch word is from a stem with initial n-. Another possible connection is with Middle High German usele, üsele (“ashes”). Etymology templates: {{cog|gmw-cfr|Osel}} Central Franconian Osel, {{m|gmw-cfr|Ussel}} Ussel, {{cog|nl|onnozel}} Dutch onnozel, {{cog|gmh|usele}} Middle High German usele, {{m|gmh|üsele}} üsele Head templates: {{de-adj|comp}} üsselig (strong nominative masculine singular üsseliger, comparative üsseliger, superlative am üsseligsten)
