Etymology: Probably partly (i) < Anglo-Norman esplaier, esplayer, esplier, Middle French esployer to unfold, open out (a banner, etc.) (late 12th cent. or earlier), to display (14th cent. or earlier), in Anglo-Norman also to deploy, to make use of (a thing) (late 13th cent. or earlier; < classical Latin explicāre : see explicate v.), and partly (ii, in later use) an alteration (after verbs in ex- prefix¹) of display v.Sense 1 may perhaps show a different word, perhaps a borrowing < Middle French esploier to advance (late 14th cent. in an apparently isolated attestation in a late manuscript of a 12th-cent. text), apparently a variant or alteration (perhaps by association with Middle French esployer to unfold) of esploiter exploit v. Sense 3 may rather show alteration of employ v. after verbs in ex- prefix¹, or perhaps exploye in quot. 1552 may simply show an error for employ v.
