Etymology

Etymology here is uncontestable. The etymology of this word ALLEY is my key test for English dictionaries. If they state that French ALLER, ultimately < L. AMBULARE (> O.F. AMBLER > English AMBLE), the dictionary is returned to the shelf! Wiktionary's etymology here is the place to stop, until there appears an ascertainable Gallic word that links both ALLER and the subjunctive of the Cornish 'to go'. Compare Gallo-Latin ALLARI.. See aller for comprehensive discussion on its origin; but there is no reliable evidence for any connection with amble or ambulare. 

 means 'Absolutely not;  means 'Exceedingly unlikely';  means 'Very dubious';  means 'Questionable';  means 'Possible';  means 'Probable';  means 'Likely';  means 'Most Likely' or *Unattested;  means 'Attested';  means 'Obvious' - only used for close matches within the same language or dialect, at linkable periods.
