Hobel
German
Etymology
From Middle High German hovel, hobel, hubel, etc., from Old High German hovil, huobil. This is perhaps an early borrowing from Old Saxon because until the 14th century the word was chiefly Low German; compare Middle Low German hōvel. The wide variety of forms may also corroborate this. It seems uncertain whether the noun Hobel was derived from the verb hobeln or vice versa. Related with Hubbel (“bump”), dialectal Hübel (“hill”), Dutch heuvel. Pokorny derives all of these words from Proto-Indo-European *kew- (“to bend; a bend, joint”).[1]
