Etymology
The word 'furled' comes from the Middle English word 'furle', which means to fold or roll up. It is derived from the Old French term 'furlier', meaning to roll or gather, and further traces back to the Latin 'follere', which means to blow or to fill with air. The term was originally associated with sails and flags that needed to be secured from strong winds. Over time, its usage expanded to include any instances where items are rolled or folded tightly. The idea of protection from the elements or securing objects has remained central to its meaning from its historical roots.
