This first element of this word is customarily identified with hēah (“tall, high”), beginning with Franciscus Junius's 17th-century Etymologicum Anglicanum; the remainder is now usually held to be from either faru (“journey”) or fearr (“bull”), though the latter is less likely.
Discussion of Liberman's alternative etymology
Liberman instead suggests that this compound is from *hæg- (“pen”, see haga) + -fore (“inhabitant”), However, this etymology fails to explain the phonological shape of this word (a long vowel is required by Middle English forms in /ɛː/, while *hæg should become palatalised *hæġ, which would stymie breaking of /æ/ and devoicing of /x/. Additionally, this palatalisation would create an open syllable, resulting in /f/ being voiced to /v/), while his putative suffix -fore lacks a clear etymology and is not securely attested (elver is simply Middle English el (“eel”) + fare (“group of journeyers”); the word originally referred to a group of young eels). Furthermore, Liberman's semantic objections to the traditional etymology do not hold water. Old English hēah can mean "tall", and faran already means "to live (in a specified way)"; the word would simply mean "one who lives (while being) tall", originally being a generic term for any adult cow.

/ˈɑːˌɡlæː.t͡ʃɑ/

From āglāc (“distress, torment, misery”). A difficult and much-debated word. Possibly in origin a compound from the root of ece (“ache, pain”) + lāc (“ritual, performance, demonstration”) (Bosworth 1882), but this is disputed.
Found mostly in poetry, and there mostly of monsters and devils, but once of Beowulf and once of Sigemund.
The sole attestation in prose is also a unique relational adjectival use, in Byrhtferth's Enchiridion, where it refers to the scholar Bede as se æglæca lareow, making clear that the word is not inherently pejorative but carries a meaning of "awe-inspiring, formidable".
