wiktionary
Probably from Middle English hamelen(“to maim, mutilate; to cut short”), from Old English hamelian(“to hamstring, mutilate”), [1] [2] from Proto-Germanic *hamalōną, *hamlōną(“to mutilate”), from Proto-Indo-European *kem-(“hornless; mutilated”). Cognate with Dutch hamel(“wether”), English hamble, Low German hommel, hummel(“an animal lacking horns”), [3] humlich, dialectal hommlich(“lacking horns”), Bavarian humlet(“lacking horns”), [4]German hammeln, hämmeln(“to geld”), Icelandic hamla(“to maim, mutilate”).
OxfordDictionaries.com suggests that the “ear of grain with its awns removed” sense preceded the “animal without antlers or horns” sense. [3]
