Etymology

From a Vulgar Latin root *experlavāre, from Latin perlavāre, present active infinitive of perlavō. Compare Aromanian spel, aspel, spilari, and also Albanian shpëlaj ‎(“to rinse”)[1]. Cf. also southern Calabrese sprullavari ("water down a broth with much water") and Sicilian spirlavatu ("washed away").[2]
