<br>
Now obsolete English "assel(e)" (armpit) comes from Old (Norman?) French essele (=
Modern French aiselle; cf. Latin axilla ("little axle").<br>
<br>
The same word did survive in its form "aisle": passage between rows
of seats < wing of a church < wing, upper arm, armpit (~ Latin axilla).<br>
Some Dutch dialects (Groningen,
Stellingwerven, de Meierij in Noord-Brabant) are using the word
"oksel" also for the back of a knee. Avestan has the word
"ašayā" for "belonging to both axes".<br>
