See anguilla in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [aŋˈɡʷiːl.la] [Classical-Latin], [aŋˈɡʷil.la] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [aŋˈɡʷiːl.laː] [Classical-Latin], [aŋˈɡʷil.la] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: From Proto-Indo-European *h₂engʷʰ- (“water-worm, eel”). Cognate with Old Prussian angurgis and Albanian ngjalë, Ancient Greek ἔγχελυς (énkhelus, “eel”), Old High German angar (“mealworm, larva, grub”) (Modern German Engerling), Proto-Slavic *ǫgořь, Lithuanian ungurỹs. Influenced by anguis (“snake”), in the same way Ancient Greek ἔγχελῠς (énkhelŭs, “eel”) was influenced by ἔχις (ékhis, “snake”), but unfortunately no Proto-Indo-European form can be reconstructed due to similar changes in other daughter languages, commonly attributed to a taboo.
