Forms: Middle English queldepoynte.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman quiltpoynt, coilte pointe, coilte pointée (c1170 or earlier; compare Anglo-Norman keutepoynt , Old French (Picardy) queutepointe (12th cent.; also quieutepointe ), (Tournai) kiolte puinte (1294), Middle French coultepointe (1438)) < coilte , quilt quilt n.1 + pointée , feminine of past participle of pointer to embroider (see point v.1). Compare ( < French) post-classical Latin culcita puncta (13th cent.), culta puncta , cultepuncta , culcitra punctata (all 13th cent. in British sources), culcitra puncta , culcitrepunctum (in undated French sources in Du Cange). Compare counterpoint n.2 and see discussion at that entry, and also counterpane n.2It is unclear whether the following two examples should be interpreted as showing the Middle English or the Anglo-Norman word:1386 in J. Raine Wills & Inventories N. Counties Eng. (1835) I. 41 Lego..j. lectum rubeum quiltpoint cum j. testro de eadem setta.c1400 in J. Raine Testamenta Eboracensia (1836) I. 243 Lego Thomae de Ughtrede j album lectum de sandell..cum uno coopertorio lecti vocato qwylt poynt. Compare also the earlier surname le Quiltepointer, although it is unclear whether this is to be interpreted as reflecting a Middle English or an (apparently otherwise unattested) Anglo-Norman word (compare Old French keutepointier, kiutepointier person who makes counterpanes (1318 or earlier)):1286 Patent Roll, 14 Edward I 4 June (P.R.O.: C 66/105) m. 8 Egidii Le Quiltepointer.
