kestreln.

Brit.

/ˈkɛstr(ə)l/, U.S.

/ˈkɛstrəl/

Forms: α. 1500s–1600s castrell, 1500s–1700s castrel, 1500s–1800s castrill, 1600s–1700s castril, casteril; kastrell, kastril(l, kastral, kastrel. β. 1500s–1600s kist-, 1600s kestrell, kaistrell, keistrell, 1500s– kestrel, kestril. γ. 1600s–1800s coistrell, coistril, coystrel, coystril.

Etymology: Middle English castrel , apparently corresponding (through *cas'rel , *casserel ) to Old French cresserelle , crécerelle , quercerelle , modern Poitevin casserelle . The ulterior etymology is obscure, and it is difficult to reconcile the different Old French forms with each other or the Italian equivalents. See Godefroy, Cotgrave, and Rolland Faune popul. de la France II. 31. The rare coistrel is probably due to confusion with β. forms at custrel n., groom, varlet.

a. A species of small hawk ( Falco tinnunculus, or Tinnunculus alaudarius), also called stannel or windhover, remarkable for its habit of sustaining itself in the same place in the air with its head to the wind. The name is extended to about 15 foreign species of the restricted genus Tinnunculus.
