Etymology of ELWEISSMILCH

The word "elweissmilch" is a combination of two German words: "El" and "Weissmilch". Here is the etymology of each component:

1. El: This word comes from Old High German "elle" and Middle High German "elne", which ultimately derive from the Latin word "ulna". "El" is a unit of measurement, representing the length from the elbow to the fingertips. In German, it is commonly used in specific contexts, such as measuring the height of horses. However, in the word "elweissmilch", it does not retain its original meaning as a measure but rather serves as a phonetic element.

2. Weissmilch: This is a compound of two German words:

a. Weiss: Derived from Old High German "wīs", this word means "white".
