nounmasculinea-stemprince, nobleman; member of a noble or ruling lineageAn *-ingaz patronymic or affiliative derivative of the *aþal-/*aþul- word family, ultimately from *aþalą, originally ‘one belonging to or descended from noble stock’, whence ‘nobleman, prince’ Boutkan & Siebinga 2005: 96, s.v. ethelingHeidermanns 1993: 107–109. Ringe and Taylor 2014: 251 reconstruct Proto-Northwest Germanic *aþulingaz, reflected by Old Norse ǫðlingr, Old English æþeling, and Old High German adalung, adaling, ediling. The *u vocalism belongs to the same *aþul- variant seen in *aþulijaz and *aþuliją; West Germanic evidence also permits reconstruction with *aþal-. For the deeper etymology, see *aþalą.
