Etymology

[edit]

From Middle High German spënelinc, spëndelinc, spinlinc, spillinc, from Old High German spenelinc, spenilinch, also found in Middle Low German spelling, spilling, probably from Old High German spenala, spenila, spenela, spenula (needle) from Latin spīnula (little thorn, needle) and originally referring to the sloe, named after its thorns.

The plant is dated since about 1900 for commercial exploitation because of its size, however depending on regional occurrence is used privately.
