Word origin

The term 'panelled' dates back to the late Middle English period, derived from the word 'panel', which itself comes from the Old French word 'pannele', meaning a flat piece or plank. The Old French term is a diminutive of 'pan', meaning a piece, leaf, or section. Throughout history, panelled designs have been employed in architecture and interior design, dating back to medieval times when they were used for both decoration and practical purposes. The use of panels allowed for greater control over temperature and sound within a space, making them a popular feature in various constructions. As styles evolved, the panelled design became associated with elegance and sophistication, particularly in grand homes and public buildings. Over time, the term has come to refer to any surface or design featuring panels, extending beyond wood to include materials like metal, glass, and plastic.
