Nguồn gốc từ

ine-pro From Middle English whelmen (to turn over, capsize; to invert, turn upside down), perhaps from Old English *hwealmnian, a variant of *hwealfnian, from hwealf (arched, concave, vaulted; an arched or vaulted ceiling), from *hwalb, from Proto-Germanic *hwalbą (arch, vault), from Proto-Indo-European *kʷelp- (to curve).
