appalv.

Brit.

/əˈpɔːl/, U.S.

/əˈpɔl/,

/əˈpɑl/

Forms: Middle English–1600s a-pall(e, appalle, 1500s a-pawl, 1600s appaule, Middle English–1800s appall, 1500s–1800s appal. Inflected appalled, appalling.

Etymology: ? < Old French apalir, apallir, later ap(p)alir, to wax pale, be in consternation; languish, waste away; also transitive to make pale, etc. This derivation accounts satisfactorily for the senses, but presents difficulties as to the forms: the natural representation of apalir would be apale , appale , actually found in 16th cent., in the literal sense (see below); the earlier appall , which points, like all , ball , fall , etc. (with which it rhymes from the 14th cent.), to an originally short a , may perhaps representing the French form appall-ir . But appall cannot be separated from the simple pall v.¹, for the relations of which to pale v.³, pale adj. see that word.

I. intransitive.

†1. To wax pale or dim. Obsolete. Cf. appale v. 1.
