Etymology
The term 'chapelling' is derived from the word 'chapel', which has its roots in the Latin word 'cappella', meaning 'little cape'. This term originally referred to the cloak of St. Martin of Tours, which was kept in a shrine and became a place of worship. Over time, the word evolved to describe a small building or room used for religious services. The suffix '-ing' is typically used to indicate an action or state related to a verb or noun, which in this case implies the act of functioning or serving as a chapel. Thus, 'chapelling' can have meanings associated not just with the structure itself, but with the activities and practices that take place within that space.
