Etymology
From Pre-Germanic *sh₂eldóm, ultimately from *séh₂ls (‘salt’). Kroonen takes the exact derivational path as a neuter collective noun from *saltaną (‘to salt’). The closest cognate is Old Armenian աղտ (ałt) (cf. also Proto-Slavic *soldъ, Lithuanian saldus). Other cognates include Latin sāl, Latvian sāls, Proto-Slavic *solь, Ancient Greek ἅλς (háls) (háls) and Welsh halen.
