Etymology

The word 'stool' has Old English origins, coming from the Proto-Germanic word 'stลla', which is also related to the Dutch 'stoel' and German 'Stuhl'. Originally used to describe a seat without a back or arms, over time it also acquired the meaning of a piece of solid excrement passed out of the body. The verb form 'stool' meaning to fail to appear at an arranged meeting is a more recent informal usage.
