Etymology

From earlier aula. Perhaps from Proto-Italic *aukslā (see auxilla), from Proto-Indo-European *Hukʷ-sleh₂, from Proto-Indo-European *Hukʷ- (“cooking pot”), of possible substrate origin. Compare Sanskrit उखा (ukhā), Albanian anë, Ancient Greek ἰπνός (ipnós), Proto-Germanic *uhnaz, *uhwnaz, and subsequently Old Norse and Old English ofn (whence English oven).
