[The late appearance of this word suggests that it is a back-formation from woolding (q.v.), but it was probably a late ME. adoption of MLG. wolen, wölen (LG. wölen, pa. pple. wöld), MDu. woelen ‘premere..constringere, torquere’ (Kilian), Du. woelen to woold (whence G. wuhlen, wulen, Da. vule), also Du. bewoelen (G. bewuhlen), Flem. woeln, oelin to bind round with cord or rope, WFris. woelje to wind. (Further relations are uncertain.) The infinitive forms would, woold appear to be due to the influence of the pa. tense and pple.]
