Brit. /kɔɪl/, U.S. /kɔɪl/
Forms: Also 1500s–1600s coyle, quoile, 1500s–1700s coile, 1600s coyl, quoyle, 1600s–1700s quoil.
Origin: Of unknown origin.
Etymology: First in 16th cent.: of unknown origin. Probably a word of colloquial or even slang character, which rose into literary use; many terms of similar meaning have had such an origin; compare pother, row, rumpus, dirdum, shindy, hubbub, hurly-burly, etc. Suggestions that coil may be related to Gaelic coileid/ˈkoletʃ/ ‘stir, movement, noise’, or to goilim /ˈɡolɪm/ ‘I boil’, goileadh, ‘boiling’, or to goill /ɡoɬ/ ‘shield, war, fight’, encounter serious phonological and historical difficulties.

coilv.3

Brit. /kɔɪl/, U.S. /kɔɪl/
Forms: Also 1600s–1700s coile, coyl(e, quoile.
Etymology: Goes with coil n.3, neither being as yet traced beyond 1611, though, as nautical words, they were no doubt in spoken use much earlier. The verb is generally supposed to be identical with French cueillir to gather, collect, cull, which Littré has as a ‘terme de marine’, ‘plier une manœuvre en rond ou en ellipse’. Compare the Portuguese colher un cabo ‘to coil a cable’ (Vieyra).
1.
a. transitive. To lay up (a cable, rope, etc.) in concentric rings; the rings may be disposed above each other, or one ring within another, or over cleats, etc., as is done with small lines, to prevent entanglement. Const. with up.
