Just to end the debate. I found the answer to this question by looking in
an etymology reference text. From the 13th C Old French pal or pel meaning
stake or picket.
To add feul to the fire try the following minor definition and derivatives:
pel- Important derivatives are: anvil, felt, filter, pulsate, pulse, push,
compel, expel, propel, repel, polish, and appeal.
To thrust, strike, drive.
Suffixed form *pel-de-. 1. a. ANVIL, from Old English anfilt(e), anfealt,
anvil ("something beaten on"); b. (i) FELT, from Old English felt, felt;
(ii) FILTER, from Medieval Latin filtrum, filter, piece of felt. Both (i)
and (ii) from Germanic *feltaz, *filtiz, compressed wool. Both a and b from
Germanic *felt-, *falt-, to beat.
