Etymology
From Middle English ankel, ancle, ankyll, from Old English *ancol (compare ancl?ow (“ankle”) > Modern English anclef, ancliff, ancley), from Proto-Germanic *ankulaz (“ankle, hip”); akin to Icelandic ökkla, ökli, Danish and Swedish ankel, Dutch enklaauw, enkel, German Enkel, Old Norse akka, Old Frisian anckel, and perhaps Old High German encha, ancha (“thigh”, “shin”), from the Proto-Germanic *ankij? (“ankle”, “hip”).
Compare with Sanskrit ???? (a?ga, “limb”), ??????? (a?guri, “finger”), Latin angulus. Compare haunch and Greek prefix ??????- (ankulo-, “joint, crooked, bent”).
