Etymology: Corresponding to Middle Dutch keghel, kegel (also keyl- in keylbane skittle-alley; Dutch kegel, plural kegels and kegelen) = Old High German chegil (Middle High German and German kegel) tapering stick, ninepin, cone, etc. Danish kegle and Swedish kegla, kägla are from Low German; French quille (known from 1320) is commonly supposed to be an adoption of the Germanic word; Welsh has ceilys from English. The phonology of the English forms presents difficulties: Middle English ei (ai) does not normally give ea, ee in later English. The Scotch form was probably < French.

a. plural. The set of pins of wood or bone used in a kind of ninepins or skittles; more frequently, the game played with these.Johnson has the following, apparently through confusion with another game: ‘Kayle, a kind of play still retained in Scotland, in which nine holes ranged in three's are made in the ground, and an iron bullet rolled in among them.’
