kegel English + exercise Noun en kegel. Synonyms en Kegel exercise Anagrams en eegkl Gleek gleek German de 2020 August 17 Etymology From de gmh kegel, from de goh chegil, goh kegil peg, especially pegs for a tent (zeltchegil) or similar. gmh kegel means “peg or pin used for a game” (such as skittles), but regional use from the 14th century onward also preserve a more general meaning of “peg, cudgel”. The etymology cannot be traced with certainty. The word is a member of a Wortsippe which also includes de Keil wedge, de Kugel ball, sphere and de Kiel keel. No cognates of de Kegel are known outside of German (other than loans from German in Dutch, Scandinavian as well as Baltic and Slavic languages). fr quille seems to be a reflex of an Old Frankish form of the word. sla-pro *žezlъ stick, staff, rod has diverse proposed origins. The German word de Keil wedge is closely related, compared by Grimm to the relationship of la cuneus wedge with la cōnus cone. In some dialects, de Keil was used as the term for both “wedge” and “bowling pin”. On the other hand, Kroonen suggests a derivation from de gem-pro *kagilaz cone, pin, from the root underlying gem-pro *kagô trunk + gem-pro *-ilaz diminutive suffix, agent suffix.277 *kagan- *kagila- Also closely related is de Kugel ball, sphere. All these terms developed in context of the game of skittles. The relation of de Keil to de Kegel (both terms for the pin) was the same as that of de Kaule to de Kugel (both terms for the ball; the former remained dialectal, while de Kugel became the generic term for "sphere"). For the development of the sense of an illegitimate son compare de Bengel, de Flegel, de Balg and the like.
