Definition dwell
Etymology
From Middle English dwellen (�delay, hinder, detain; linger, remain�), from Old English dwellan (�to mislead, deceive; be led into error, stray�), from Proto-Germanic *dwaljan? (�to hold up, delay; hesitate�), from Proto-Indo-European *d?welH- (�to whirl, swirl, blur, obfuscate�), which is cognate with Old Norse dvelja and related to Proto-Germanic *dwelan? (�to go astray�), which underwent semantic change in its descendants. Cognates include Danish dv�le (�to linger, dwell�) and Swedish dv�ljas (�to dwell, reside�).
