Origin: A word inherited from Germanic.

Etymology: Cognate with or formed similarly to Old High German driskil (Middle High German drischel , German regional Drischel ), Danish tærskel (c1700, now historical) < the Germanic base of thresh v. + the Germanic base of -le suffix 1.The semantic range in Old English is not quite certain, as the word is only attested as simplex in glossaries, either translating post-classical Latin bainus , bamus , of uncertain sense, perhaps forms of classical Latin vannus winnowing basket, winnowing fan (compare quot. OE¹ at sense 1), or translating post-classical Latin tritorium (6th cent.), otherwise attested in senses such as ‘pestle, instrument for grinding or grating, (also) threshing place, threshing floor’ (compare quot. OE² at sense 1). A rare compound Old English þyrscel-flōr (early Middle English þyrscel-flōr ) is also attested in sense ‘threshing floor’ (compare floor n.¹). Forms with stem vowel a (such as thrashel at α. forms, drashel at β. forms, etc.) are after thrash v. With the β. forms compare similar regional forms in dr- at thresh v. Forms 1α(b) and thrash v. In forms threshold, thrashat, throstle at α. forms apparently influenced by forms of threshold n.

1. An implement used for threshing grain; a flail. English regional (western), Welsh English (Pembrokeshire and Gower), and Irish English (Wexford) in later use. Now historical.On the sense in Old English see the etymological note.Apparently unattested between the Old English period and the 16th cent.
