† caveln.²

Forms: Also Middle English kevell.

Etymology: Of uncertain derivation: Jamieson suggests that it is the Old Norse kefli (the same word as in cavel n.¹) used first in the literal sense of ‘stick, piece of wood’, and then applied contemptuously to a man, ‘as the vulgar call a raw-boned fellow a lang rung, a stiff old man an auld stock’.

Obsolete. Chiefly Scottish.

1. Perhaps, a stick or stout staff.But it may be in sense 2.
