Etymology

From Middle English newel, niwel (“right down”, adverb), from Old English n?ol, n?wol, n?owol, neowol, niwol, nihol (“precipitous, headlong, prone, prostrate, obscure, deep down, low, profound, abysmal”), of uncertain origin. Possibly a variant of nifol (“dark, gloomy, obscure”), from Proto-West Germanic *nebul, from Proto-Germanic *nibulaz, *nebulaz (“mist, fog”), from Proto-Indo-European *néb?elos, from *néb?os (“cloud, mist, moisture”); or more likely, from Proto-Germanic *n?hwulaz (“descending; low”), from Proto-Indo-European *kneyg??- (“to tend; incline; lean toward; bend”), from *ken- (“to press; pinch; kink”).

If derived from *nibulaz, then cognate with Dutch nevel (“mist, fog, haze”), German Nebel (“fog, mist, haze, nebula”), Icelandic nifl (“fog, darkness”), Icelandic njól (“mist, night, darkness”), Latin nebula (“fog, cloud, vapour”), Ancient Greek ????? (néphos, “cloud”).

If derived from *n?hwulaz, then cognate Old Frisian niwul, Middle Low German n?gel, nugel, nule, n?l (“forwards; forward over”), Middle Dutch niel (“thrown forward on the ground; prostrate”) (Dutch nuul-, vernielen).
