Pellen as a transitive verb basically means "to peal", though it looks like the usage has been a bit wider than in modern day Germanic languages. Basically, to remove a hard outer layer from something. Intransitively, it meant "to shed (parts of) the outer layer". Just think of English "peal" as in "to peal a banana" as the main meaning.
