dappledadj.

/ˈdap(ə)ld/

Forms: Also Middle English dappeld, 1500s daplit, 1500s–1600s dapled.

Etymology: In form, the past participle of dapple v., which however it precedes in recorded use by two centuries. If dapple n. occurred early enough, an adjective from it in -ed = ‘spotted’, would be possible; compare French pommelé, Old French pomelé, dappled, which similarly occurs long before the verb pommeler, and was perhaps immediately < pommelle, or Old French pomel, diminutive of pomme apple; also Old English æppled in æpplede gold, ‘formed into apples or balls’, < æppel noun.

Marked with roundish spots, patches, or blotches of a different colour or shade; spotted, speckled.
