Forms: Old English cugele, cugle, cuhle, [ cufle], Old English–Middle English cule, kuuele, cuuel, Middle English couele, couel, kouel, Middle English cole, Middle English–1600s cowle, cool(e, 1500s coule, 1600s kowle, 1700s coul, 1600s– cowl.

Etymology: The derivation and form-history present difficulties. Old English renders Latin cuculla by cugele, cugle, cuhle and cule, weak feminine; also cufle weak feminine. The former comes down in 12–13th cent. cūle, and the coule, cowle (coole) of later times; cufle may be the parent of kuuele (which in Ancren Riwle would regularly stand for kuvele), couele, kuuel, couel. Old English cugele is cognate with Old High German cucula, cugula, chugela (Middle High German kugele, kugel, gugel, Low German kogel), < ecclesiastical Latin cuculla monk's cowl, < classical Latin cucullus hood of a cloak. Old English cufle appears to be cognate with Middle Dutch covele, cövel(e (feminine), in Kilian kovel, modern Dutch keuvel ‘cowl’, and to be connected with (perhaps the origin of) Icelandic kofl, kufl strong masculine ‘cowl’. The history of cufle and its allied forms is obscure.

a. A garment with a hood (vestis caputiata), worn by monks, varying in length in different ages and according to the usages of different orders, but ‘having the permanent characteristics of covering the head and shoulders, and being without sleeves’ ( Cath. Dict.). †Also, formerly, a cloak or frock worn by laymen or by women.The classical Latin cucullus was the hood of a cloak, covering the head only. The cowls of the early Egyptian monks covered the heads, and barely reached the shoulders; by 800 the cowls of monks had become so long as to reach their heels, when St. Benedict restricted their length to two cubits. In the 14th cent. the cowl and the frock were often confounded; but it was declared at the Council of Vienne ‘we understand by the name of cuculla a habit long and full, but not having sleeves, and by that of floccus a long habit which has long and wide sleeves’. See Du Cange at Cuculla.

Forms: Middle English cuvel-, Middle English plural coufles, Middle English couel(le, kouuele, kowuele, cowuele, colle, Middle English–1600s cowle, 1600s coule, coole, kowle, 1500s– coul, 1600s– cowl, ( cowel).

Etymology: Middle English *cuvel(e (13th cent. in cuvel-staff), covelle, apparently < Old French cuvele < Latin cūpella small vat or cask, diminutive of cūpa, French cuve tub, cask, vat. But compare also the Old English form cufel, plural cuflas, of date 963–84, in Cartul. Saxon. (ed. Birch) 367, ‘ii cuflas & þry trogas’ [two cowls and three troughs]. This is almost certainly related to German kübel (glossed in Middle High German cupa, tina), Old High German *chubil (compare miluh-chubili, milk-pail), with senses parallel to those of cowl, and considered by Grimm and Kluge to be a native word (though possibly of West Germanic adoption < Latin). The uncertainty as to the word's origin is increased by the ambiguity of the symbol ou, ow, in Middle English.

a. A tub or similar large vessel for water, etc.; esp. applied to one with two ears which could be borne by two men on a cowl-staff. archaic or dialect.

Etymology: Middle English cuvel(e (13th cent. in cuvel-staff), covelle, apparently < Old French cuvele* < Latin cūpella small vat or cask, diminutive of cūpa, French cuve tub, cask, vat. But compare also the Old English form cufel, plural cuflas, of date 963–84, in Cartul. Saxon. (ed. Birch) 367, ‘ii cuflas & þry trogas’ [two cowls and three troughs]. This is almost certainly related to German kübel (glossed in Middle High German cupa, tina), Old High German chubil (compare miluh-chubili, milk-pail), with senses parallel to those of cowl, and considered by Grimm and Kluge to be a native word (though possibly of West Germanic adoption < Latin). The uncertainty as to the word's origin is increased by the ambiguity of the symbol ou, ow, in Middle English. a.
