Proto-Germanic

Etymology

Uncertain. Possibly originated as a compound of the roots of *fullaz (“full”) and *gāną (“to go”), with a sense of "full-going". This could have shifted to a meaning of "to serve, go with as an attendant" (compare also fulfill). (Can this(+) etymology be sourced?)

Alternatively, may be derived from a Proto-Indo-European *pelḱ-, *polḱ- (“to turn, twist, wind”), which itself might have merged with another verb to form Proto-Germanic *felhaną (“to conceal”, but also “to go, proceed”).[1]
