Etymology: From Middle High German insel, insele, isele, from Old High German isila, *insila, from Proto-West Germanic *isulā, *insulā, borrowed from Latin *isula, insula (“island”). Native Middle High German words for “island” were ouwe and wert; cf. modern Aue (“meadow by a river”) and Werder (“river island”). Other borrowings were eilant, einlant (from Old Frisian; see Eiland) and the rare īle (from Old French, ultimately from the same Latin word as above).

  "etymology_text": "From Middle High German insel, insele, isele, from Old High German isila, *insila, from Proto-West Germanic *isulā, *insulā, borrowed from Latin *isula, insula (“island”).\nNative Middle High German words for “island” were ouwe and wert; cf. modern Aue (“meadow by a river”) and Werder (“river island”). Other borrowings were eilant, einlant (from Old Frisian; see Eiland) and the rare īle (from Old French, ultimately from the same Latin word as above).",
