qualm
[[English]]
ipa :/kwɑm/[Etymology]
Middle English cwalm, qualm (“death, sickness, plague”), from Old English cwealm (West Saxon) "death, disaster, plague," ūtcualm (Anglian) "utter destruction," related to cwelan (“to die,”) cwellan (“to kill”). The other suggested etymology, less satisfying, is from Dutch kwalm "steam, vapor, mist," which also may be ultimately from the same Germanic root as quell. Sense softened to "feeling of faintness" 1530; meaning "uneasiness, doubt" is from 1553; that of "scruple of conscience" is 1649. An indirect connection between the Old English and modern senses is plausible, via the notion of "fit of sickness."
[Noun]
qualm (plural qualms)
1.A sickly feeling of being ill at ease; sudden queasiness.
2.A prick of the conscience, moral scruple.

[Etymology]
From Middle English, from Old English purs (“purse”), partly from Old English pusa (“wallet, bag, scrip”), and partly from Old English burse (“pouch, bag”).Old English pusa comes from Proto-Germanic *pusô (“bag, sack, scrip”), from Proto-Indo-European *būs- (“to swell, stuff”), and is cognate with Old High German pfoso (“pouch, purse”), Low German pūse (“purse, bag”), Old Norse posi (“purse, bag”), Danish pose (“purse, bag”). Old English burse comes from Medieval Latin bursa (“leather bag”) (compare English bursar), from Ancient Greek βύρσα (bursa, “hide, wine-skin”).Compare also Old French borse (French: bourse), Old Saxon bursa (“bag”), Old High German burissa (“wallet”).
