Forms: α. Middle English–1600s ile, yle, (Middle English ille, hil(l, 1500s Scottish yile), Middle English ylle, 1500s ill). β. Middle English ysle, Middle English– isle. γ. Middle English idle, ydle. δ. Middle English ilde, ylde, 1600s yelld.

Etymology: Middle English ile (ille ), < Old French ile (ille ), earlier isle, modern French île = Provençal isla , Italian isola < Latin insula island. In 15th cent. French again often spelt isle (a Latinized artificial spelling of the Renaissance), whence occasionally in English in Caxton, and again persistently from Spenser onward, although the historical ile survived to c1700. The form idle was Anglo-Norman, < *isdle , with d developed between s and l , and loss of s , as in meddle ( < mesdler , mesler ), medlar ( < *mesdler , meslier ); compare also cider n., and French coudre < *cosdre , cosre , Latin consuere . The form ilde contains a parasitic d , as in vilde (vile adj., adv., and n.), tyld (tile n.¹), mould n.¹ (mole ), which was probably developed quite independently of idle , though formation from that by transposition was also possible: compare neld , neelde , needle n.

a. A portion of land entirely surrounded by water; an island. Now more usually applied to an island of smaller size, except in established appellations, as ‘the British Isles’.In proper names isle is often prefixed, as Isle of Wight, Isle of Man, Isle of Dogs, Isle of Ely, Isle of Thanet, Isles of Scilly; but it also follows, as in Coquet Isle, Scilly Isles, Orkney Isles, Shetland Isles: island usually follows, as in Lundy Island, Hayling Island, the Channel Islands, Orkney Islands, Shetland Islands, Canary Islands, West India Islands. As a common noun, island is the ordinary prose word; thus the Isle of Wight is commonly referred to as ‘the island’.
