English
Etymology
From Middle English toile, from Anglo-Norman toille, tuille, taken to be variants of Old French tieulle (modern French tuile, from Latin tēgula, and thus a doublet of tile and tuile. The French term occurs in only one medieval work and the English term in only two (one a translation of the French work),[1] where the interpretation of the term as referring to an armor plate is uncertain (words for cloth and weapons are spelled the same way and could have been meant instead).[2] It has been suggested that the interpretation of the term as referring to an element of armor is an error by 1800s antiquarians.[2]
