different between dwell vs antigo

English

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 dvæle (“to linger, dwell”) and Swedish dväljas (“to dwell, reside”).
