"üsselig" meaning in German

See üsselig in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Adjective

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”).
