هيول
Arabic
Etymology
- From the root ه ي ل (h-y-l) in the sense of a pile or cluster of things together; piled sand, dust particles.
- Alternatively, borrowed from Ancient Greek ὕλη (húlē, “stuff, matter, substance”, literally “wood, raw material”).
- Or combined, maybe a phono-semantic matching of Ancient Greek from the root ه ي ل (h-y-l).
