See also pingle n.2
Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: English piȝt , pitch v.2, -le suffix.
Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps < piȝt, past participle of pitch v.2 + -le suffix, in which case the β. forms would show early loss of -t- , unless they are independently from (or remodelled after) a corresponding noun use in sense ‘small plot of land marked out’ (compare later pitch n.2 IV., and see further J. McN. Dodgson Place-names Cheshire V. (1981) i. 304). Compare post-classical Latin peghtella , pictellum , pightella , pightellum , pitella , pitellum , pitillum , puddellum , pythellum (from c1250 in British sources). Perhaps compare pingle n.2 Eng. Dial. Dict. at that entry records widespread English regional use; Surv. Eng. Dial. records use from eastern and south-eastern counties of England; Dict. Amer. Regional Eng. at that entry records use from Long Island and New York State. It is possible that some of the Latin forms could have been influenced by association with post-classical Latin pictura , probably a variant of pedatura plot of land (see pedature n.), although this is apparently not recorded from British sources. For a summary of some alternative etymological suggestions see Notes & Queries(1942) 2 May 247–8. With the development of medial /k/ in a number of the β. forms and in δ. forms perhaps compare similar developments at stickle v.
Chiefly English regional (eastern) and U.S. regional (New York). Now rare.
A small field or enclosure; a paddock, a close. Also U.S.: a barnyard. Cf. pingle n.2Frequently attested in place and field names.
