"Geißel" meaning in German

See Geißel in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈɡaɪ̯səl/ Audio: De-Geißel.ogg
Etymology: From Middle High German geisel(e), from Old High German geisila (“whip”). Cognate with Dutch gesel. The spelling with -ß- reflects sporadic devoicing; compare the frequent pronunciations of niesen or Preiselbeere. Its use for distinguishing between Geißel and Geisel (“hostage”) is an arbitrary convention, which fully established itself only around 1900. (The two words are not related but became merged in Early Modern German.)
