"etymology_text": "From Proto-Balto-Slavic *gī́ˀšlāˀ, cognate with Lithuanian gýsla (“vein”), Latvian dzîsla (“vein”) and the second part of Old Prussian pette-gislo (“back vein”). An earlier reflex *žixla may have been the origin of derivatives such as dial. Russian жихля́ть (žixljátʹ, “to sway, to lurch”) (parallel to Lithuanian gýslioti (“to tow, to flex, to contract”)).\nThere are two theories for Indo-European origin:\n* from Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰíH(s)leh₂, with cognates Old Armenian ջիլ (ǰil, “sinew”), Latin filum (“thread”).\n* from *gʷiH-, akin to Sanskrit जिया (jiyā́), ज्या (jyā́, “bow-string”), Ancient Greek βιός (biós, “bow-string, tendon”).\nDerksen and Snoj favor the former option, due to the presence of medial *-l-. De Vaan notes that the former is a *-sleh₂-extension of the latter, so the word is from the same root either way.",

"etymology_text": "From Proto-Balto-Slavic *gī́ˀšlāˀ, cognate with Lithuanian gýsla (“vein”), Latvian dzîsla (“vein”) and the second part of Old Prussian pette-gislo (“back vein”). An earlier reflex *žixla may have been the origin of derivatives such as dial. Russian жихля́ть (žixljátʹ, “to sway, to lurch”) (parallel to Lithuanian gýslioti (“to tow, to flex, to contract”)).\nThere are two theories for Indo-European origin:\n* from Proto-Indo-European *gʷʰíH(s)leh₂, with cognates Old Armenian ջիլ (ǰil, “sinew”), Latin filum (“thread”).\n* from *gʷiH-, akin to Sanskrit जिया (jiyā́), ज्या (jyā́, “bow-string”), Ancient Greek βιός (biós, “bow-string, tendon”).\nDerksen and Snoj favor the former option, due to the presence of medial *-l-. De Vaan notes that the former is a *-sleh₂-extension of the latter, so the word is from the same root either way.",
