Etymology
From a Hellenisation of earlier sulpur, from the root *selp- (“fat, oil”). Cognate with English salve, Sanskrit ??????? (sarpís, “cleaned melted butter”), ????? (s?prá, “greasy, smooth”), Tocharian B ?alype (“ointment”), and perhaps ????? (élpos, “?olive oil, fat”) or Ancient Greek ???? (ólp?, “flask for oil”).
According to De Vaan citing Szemerényi, perhaps from an s-stem Proto-Indo-European *sélpos. However, De Vaan finds both the -él- > -ól- and -os > -ur changes to be irregular (for -ol- > -ul- see sulcus), adding that perhaps it comes from Proto-Italic *solpor, from an r/n-stem Proto-Indo-European *sólpr? instead.
