Definition sulk
Etymology 1
Back-formation from sulky, of uncertain origin. Probably from Middle English *sulke, *solke (attested in solcennesse (“idleness; laziness”), from Old English ?solcennys (“idleness; slothfulness; sluggishness; laziness”), from ?solcen (“sulky, languid”), from past participle of ?seolcan (“be slow; be weak or slothful; languish”), from Proto-Germanic *selkan? (“to fall in drops; dribble; droop”), from Proto-Indo-European *sél?-o-nom, from *sel?- (“to let go, send”). Cognate with several Indo-Iranian words deriving from Proto-Indo-Iranian *sar??- (such as Sanskrit ????? (s?játi), ?????? (sarjati), ????? (sárjana), ??? (s?ká)), possibly Hittite ???? (ša-al-ak-zi /šalkzi/, “knead, mix”), although the semantic connection is weak.
