語源 1

From Late 中期英語 spelde (past tense) and spelled, ispeled, ispelled (past participles). The past tense reflects an early 中期英語 syncopation of spellede, while the past participle remained largely disyllabic until the general Early Modern English reduction of the -ed suffix. In both cases, once the medial vowel was lost, the final alveolar stop underwent phonetic devoicing after the sonorant /l/, resulting in the modern -t spelling. Compare dwelt, felt, and smelt. By surface analysis, spell +‎ -t.

The noun is from 中期英語 spelt, from 古期英語 spelt, connected with the verb. Compare speld and German Spelze (“husk”).

The adjective is from 中期英語 spelt, probably a contraction of spelked, past participle of spelken (“to bruise (beans)”), itself of obscure origin. Compare Scots spilkings (“split peas”), the later verb, and perhaps also splet.

The verb is probably from the adjective. Compare earlier spald, speld.
