Forms: Middle English–1500s tele, Middle English teill, Middle English–1500s teele, 1500s–1600s teyle, teale, 1600s teil, tayle, 1700s teall, 1600s– teal.

Etymology: Middle English tele, exemplified early in 14th cent., but pointing to an unrecorded Old English tǽle, téle < West German *taili. Dutch has a derivative form taling, teling (masculine), in Kilian teelingh, Middle Dutch têling, teiling, Middle Low German têlink (masculine), teal. (Connection with Dutch teling (feminine), generation, Low German teling (feminine), brood, < Dutch, and Low German têlen to breed, is improbable.)

a. A small freshwater fowl, Querquedula or Anas crecca, or other species of the genus, the smallest of the ducks, widely distributed in Europe, Asia, and America; also locally applied to other genera of the Anatidæ. Also as collective plural.
