The word "del" means "portion/part" in Saxon, northern German, and Scandinavian dialects and languages.
So "del" for "portion" would be completely reasonable. In English we have a similar word "dole" for portion (or "to dole out", to portion out), which is related to Germanic, Norse.
Reading the end of muß as a double-ess is also reasonable.
