DWELL

What dwell means

To live or reside in a particular place, or to think about something persistently and at length.

Where the word comes from

From Old English *dwellan*, meaning to lead astray or delay, the word shifted in meaning over time. It likely derives from Old Norse *dvelja*, sharing the sense of lingering or tarrying. By Middle English, *dwellen* had come to mean "to remain" or "to stay in a place," and eventually settled into its modern sense of inhabiting or residing somewhere permanently.
