Ultimately from Old Dutch Tesla. Likely derived from (a compound of) Proto-Germanic *tehswô (“right, southern”). A derivation from *þehslô- (“adze”) (referring here to an adze-shaped elevated area or to the supposed adze-like shape of the island) is less likely. The spelling with x is due to influence of West Frisian Teksel. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈtɛ.səl/ Hyphenation: Texel Rhymes: -ɛsəl === Proper noun === Texel n an island and municipality of North Holland, Netherlands Meronyms: Bargen, De Cocksdorp, De Koog, Den Burg, De Nes, Den Hoorn, De Waal, De Westen, Dijkmanshuizen, Driehuizen, Harkebuurt, Het Noorden, Midden-Eierland, Molenbuurt, Nieuweschild, Noorderbuurt, Noord Haffel, Ongeren, Oost, Oosterend, Oudeschild, Spang, Spijkdorp, 't Horntje, Tienhoven, Westergeest, Westermient, Zevenhuizen, Zuid-Eierland, Zuid Haffel ==== Derived terms ==== === References === van Berkel, Gerard; Samplonius, Kees (2018), Nederlandse plaatsnamen verklaard (in Dutch), Mijnbestseller.nl, →ISBN === Anagrams === telex
