Origin Middle English: from ice + dialect ickle 'icicle' (from Old English gicel). Before a hanging, tapering piece of ice was an icicle it was an ickle. In the early Middle Ages people put ice and ickle together to form a compound; writers spelled the term as two words into the 17th century, but then speakers lost sight of its origins and icicle emerged as the standard term.
