You should assume not. There’s a lot of cases were words seem similar but a link can’t be found between them. (Although seeming similar is still quite a powerful force for language formation regardless.)
The etymonline dictionary represents the synthesis of quite extensive body of research. So the absence of a relation is meaningful not an oversight. The methods section of this post outlines the “core” of print sources that were used for the compilation.

thank you. after asking and pondering, this is the conclusion i was coming down on too, and felt i had written something a silly. i don’t mean by that that it’s regretful, rather showing that i agree with and appreciate what you’ve said. cheers, good day to you and anyone else reading
edit: reading the kind of response you’ve given is what i wanted, and is why i was and am happy to have posted
