From Middle English welde, wolde, from Old English *weald, weard, variant form of wād, Proto-West Germanic *waiʀd, from Proto-Germanic *waizdaz. Alternatively reborrowed from or contaminated by Anglo-Norman wold, wolde (compare Old French guaide). Doublet of woad. Dutch wouw is derived from the same basic form with -l-.

Alteration of well (“boil, rise”), probably influenced by the past participle, welled. Compare cognate Danish vælde, Swedish välla (“boil, rise → to forge weld”).

From Old English weald (sense 2).
