Combining form
borrowed from Greek, combining form of polýs (feminine pollḗ, neuter polý) "large, great (in size), many, much, great (in amount or degree)," going back to Indo-European *pelh1-u-, *pl̥h1-u-, a u-stem quantifier meaning "much, many," whence also Germanic *felu- (< *pelh1-u-) (whence Old English fela, feola "much, a great number, many," Old Frisian felo, fele, Old Saxon & Old High German filu "much, many, to a high degree," Old Icelandic fjǫl- "much, many" [in compounds], Gothic filu), Old Irish il "many, much" (< *pelh1-u-), Sanskrit purú- "much, many, abundant," Avestan pouru-, Old Persian paru- (all < *pl̥h1-u-; compare Sanskrit feminine pūrvī́- < *pl̥h1-u̯ih2-)
Note: The source of the o in the Greek form, which is not reflected in the other languages, has been the subject of debate. A. Sihler (New Comparative Grammar of Greek and Latin, p. 43) points out that Cowgill's Law (turning o to u in Greek between a labial consonant and a resonant, in either order) should have resulted in *pylýs rather than polýs. G. Kroonen (Etymological Dictionary of Proto-Germanic, s.v. *felu-) accounts for the o via a paradigm *pélh1-us (common gender nominative), *pl̥h1-u̯-ós (genitive), *pólh1-u- (neuter nominative), *pl̥h1-éu̯-s (genitive). The base *pelh1- is generally regarded as a secondary full grade form of the verbal base *pleh1- "become full"—see full entry 1.
