  "etymology_text": "The adjective is derived from Middle English feloun, felun (“base, wicked; hostile; of an animal: dangerous; of words: angry, harsh, slanderous; of things: dangerous, deadly; false, fraudulent; unlucky”) [and other forms], from Old French felon (“bad, evil, immoral”) (compare fel (“evil; despicable, vile”)), from Vulgar Latin *fellō, *fellōnem; further etymology uncertain, possibly from one of the following, among other suggestions:\n* From Latin fel (“bile, gall; bitterness; poison; venom”) (said by the Oxford English Dictionary to be “the most probable”), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰelh₃- (“green; yellow”), or from *bʰel-, *bʰl̥H- (“yellow”).\n* From Medieval Latin fellō (“barbarian; criminal”, noun), either:\n** from Frankish *falljō (“wicked person, evildoer”), from Proto-West Germanic *falu (“cruel; evil”), from Proto-Germanic *faluz (“bad, terrible; cruel”), from Proto-Indo-European *pol- (“to flee; to float; to flow; to fly; to pour; to swim”); or\n** from Old High German *fillo, from fillen (“to beat; to whip”), from Proto-Indo-European *pelh₂- (“to stir, move, swing”).\nDoublet of fell (“of a strong and cruel nature; fierce; grim; ruthless, savage”).\nSense 3 (“obtained through a felony”) is derived from the noun.\nThe noun is derived from Middle English feloun, felun (“criminal, specifically one who has committed a felony, felon; cruel, hostile, violent, etc., person; deceiver; evildoer, monster, sinner; traitor; bold or fierce warrior; deceit, falseness; wickedness, wrongdoing; treachery”) [and other forms], from feloun, felun (adjective): see above.\ncognates\n* Italian fellone (adjective, noun)\n* Middle High German vālant (“imp”)\n* Occitan felon, felhon, fellon (adjective)\n* Spanish fellon (adjective, noun)",
