Etymology of DISTEL

The word "distel" comes from the Middle Dutch word "distel" and Old Dutch word "distol", which ultimately originated from the Proto-Germanic word "*þistilaz". This is related to the Old Norse word "þistill" and the Old High German word "distil". The Proto-Germanic word is believed to have been borrowed from a Proto-Indo-European word "*tiktēr-", meaning "sharp, pointed object", which is also the root of the English word "thistle".
