Forms: 1500s abayle.

Etymology: < Middle French abaillier, abailler to reach, catch up with (1332) < a- a- prefix5 + baillier to carry, to take (see bail v.1).The surviving earlier manuscript versions all have forms of avail v. in place of this word, but since avail v. also provides the rhyme at the end of the preceding line, it is likely that the reading in quot. 1513 reflects the original text.
Obsolete. rare.
transitive. To reach, get to.
