▪ II. stole, n.2|stəʊl|
Also 5–6 stoole, 6 stoolle, stowle.
[Commonly identified with stole n.1, to which the unauthenticated sense of ‘royal robe’ is assigned. But there seems to be little doubt that the ‘stole chamber’, served by the Groom or Yeoman of the Stole, was originally the room containing the king's close-stool, and that the word is properly a variant of stool n.1 As, however, the word as thus used was for centuries entirely dissociated from stool, and latterly had a different spelling, it is necessary to treat it separately.
In accounts of coronation ceremonies the king is said to have worn an ornament resembling a stole (stole n.1 2); but it does not appear that this was actually called a ‘stole’ until modern times. The view that the Groom of the Stole derived his designation from this ornament is quite improbable.
Sir H. Nicolas's supposition, that the ‘stole’ was a kind of packing-chest, is a mistaken inference from the stole and male being mentioned together in certain documents.]
1. groom of the stole: the title of a high officer of the king's household (formerly sometimes also in the household of a prince of the blood), ranking next below the vice-chamberlain of the household. Also † yeoman of the stole.
For the duties of the office as understood at various times, see the quots. In the household of a queen or a princess, the office and title were held by a lady. Under Queen Victoria no groom of the stole was appointed, and the office has not since been revived.
