Derivatives

  • soled

  • adjective səʊldsoʊld
    • in combination rubber-soled shoes

Origin

Middle English: from Old French, from Latin solea 'sandal, sill', from solum 'bottom, pavement, sole'; compare with Dutch zool and German Sohle.

  • There are three different words ‘sole’ in English. The two nouns are connected: the word for the under part of the foot comes via French from Latin solea ‘sandal, sill’, from solum ‘ground, sole’. The word was re-borrowed for the flat-fish, because its shape is reminiscent of a sole. The adjective for ‘only’ comes from Latin solus ‘alone’, source of solitary (Middle English), desolate (Late Middle English), and the musical solo (late 17th century). Solitaire (early 18th century), both the single stone in its setting and the card game played by yourself, comes from the same source.
