The hair of the sheep, llama and some other ruminants.

Origin: From , from , from , from , from . Cognate with , , , , , ; also , , , , , , . . The vowel development u → o → oo is purely graphical. Modern English generally avoids the string ⟨wu⟩ in favour of ⟨wo⟩, and the resulting woll was then altered to wool (as supposedly better representing the pronunciation).
