Etymology
From de gmh distel, from de goh distil, from de gmw-pro *þistil, from de gem-pro *þistilaz, which see for cognates.
The alternative long-vowel pronunciation is based on de gml dîstel (alongside gml distel), whose length is unexplained (cf. the same in dum diestel, Early Modern nl dijstel).
