Etymology
From Middle High German spüelen, from Old High German *spuolen, from Proto-West Germanic *spōlijan.
The original forms were spillen, gespullt with Rückumlaut (compare Ripuarian spöle, jespolt). The u-vowel was then generalized in all forms to avoid the homophony with unrelated spillen (“to play”).
