/pɑl/

Forms: 1600s–1700s pale, 1600s–1700s pawle, 1600s–1800s paul, 1700s– pall, 1700s– pawl; also Scottish 1900s– paal.

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps a variant or alteration of another lexical item. Perhaps a borrowing from French. Perhaps a borrowing from Latin. Etymons: pale n.¹, pole n.¹; French pal, Latin pālus.

Etymology: Origin uncertain; perhaps originally a variant of either pale n.¹ or pole n.¹, or < their respective etymons French pal or classical Latin pālus. Compare Dutch pal (1671), German regional (Low German) pall, Swedish pall (1689), which perhaps show borrowings from English.A derivation from French épauler to shoulder (see spaul v.) has also been suggested.

a. Nautical. Each of a set of short stout bars, hinged at one end, arranged around the barrel of a capstan, windlass, or winch, so as to prevent it from recoiling or overrunning.Originally, pawls were hinged at one end to the deck, with the free ends engaging with projections on the barrel of the capstan (cf. whelp n.¹ 4). In more modern arrangements, pawls are usually hinged at one end to the barrel of the capstan, with the free ends engaging with projections or sockets on a ring fixed to the deck (see quots. 1904, 1976).
