Etymology

From Middle High German zedele, zedel, a loan from Italian cedola, from Medieval Latin cedula, schedula, the diminutive of scheda, scida (strip of papyrus) ultimately from Ancient Greek σχίδη (skhídē, splinter, fragment). Cognate to Low German Zeddel, Palatine Rhine Franconian Zeddel, English schedule. Compare German Zettel m, which likely also influenced the spelling (as opposed to *צעדל (*tsedl)). The neuter gender derives from a re-interpretation of the word, as if it was suffixed by ־ל (-l), hence also the plural form צעטלעך (tsetlekh).
