doledooldulen.2

Brit. /dəʊl/, /duːl/, U.S. /doʊl/
Forms: α. Middle English deol, del, (Middle English deil, Middle English diol, dyel), Middle English deel, dele, ( deyl(le); β. Middle English doel, (Middle English doell); Middle English dol, (Middle English doul, Middle English doll), Middle English–1800s dool, dole, (Middle English–1600s doole, 1500s doal(e, 1600s dowle); Middle English doil, Middle English doile, doyl, doyll, Middle English doylle; γ. Middle English duel, dul, Middle English–1800s dule, Middle English duyl, Middle English Scottish dwle, 1500s–1600s dulle, duill; 1500s deul, 1500s–1600s dewle, 1600s–1700s Scottish deule; δ. Middle English duyel, dueyl, deuel, 1500s–1600s dueil.
Etymology: < Old French doel (11th cent.), duel (12–14th centuries), deol, diol, dial, diel, del (13th cent.), dol, dul, deul (14th cent.), duil, dueil (16–17th centuries), < modern French deuil < late Latin dolium grief. The manifold forms of the Old French word are reflected in Middle English. The deol type, which first prevailed, and was at length reduced to dēl, became obsolete before 1500. The dōl, dole form survived in English till the 16th cent., and its normal representative in modern English is dool; but the word became to a great extent obsolete by 1600, and some of its modern revivers have preferred the Middle English spelling dole. It has always been retained in Scots, where it is now regularly /døːl/, /dyːl/, variously spelt dool, duil, dule; dule also occurred in English from 14th to 16th centuries, and is used in preference to dole or dool by some modern poets. In addition to these derivatives < Old French, the forms duyel, dueyl, deuel, dueil, imitating later French types, occur from Caxton onwards.
