innleachd

device, mechanism, Irish inntleachd, device, ingenuity: *ind-slig-tu-, root slig of slighe, way? Ascoli joins Old Irish intle, insidiæ, intledaigim, insidior, and Welsh annel, a gin, Cornish antell, ruse, Breton antell, stretch a snare or bow, and Irish innil, a gin, snare. The Old Irish intliucht, intellectus (with sliucht, cognitio), is considered by Zimmer to be a grammatical word from Latin intellectus. Stokes disagrees. Hence innlich, aim, desire.
