FromProto-Indo-European, reflecting a form*(s)li(ǵʰ)-ēn-, from the root*spelǵʰ-(“spleen”), heavily distorted in all of its descendants, likely for tabooistic reasons,[1] making the exact original PIE form hard to pin down. The newly introduced-i- is seemingly also found in theSanskrit cognateप्लीहन्(plīhán), the fall of*-h- <*-ǵʰ- is also observed inAncient Greekσπλήν(splḗn),[2] while the loss of*-p- is also visible inProto-Slavic*selzenь.
