[The derivation presents many points of obscurity, some of which are touched on under the related ceil v., while others attach to the history of this particular derivative. Celure presuppposes an OF. or AF. *celeüre, *celure, answering to L. cæ-, cēlātūra; celour, if a genuine form, might answer to an OF. *celeoir, *celoir = L. cēlātōrium; both these L. forms occur in med.L., chiefly in sense ‘canopy’, and both are in ME. Vocabularies glossed by celure; but of the required OF. words no examples have yet been found. The L. words were of course derivatives of cælāre or cēlāre: see ceil.]
