Etymology
The word 'tiled' originates from the Old English 'tigele', which means a roof tile or a plate. This term itself is derived from the Proto-Germanic *tagilō and is related to the Old Norse 'tegill', which also refers to a tile. The use of tiles dates back to ancient civilizations, where they were made from materials like clay and were commonly used in the construction of buildings for both waterproofing and aesthetics. Over time, the meaning of the word extended beyond roofing materials to include decorative elements for floors and walls. As tile-making techniques evolved, particularly with the advent of glazed tiles during the Middle Ages, the term 'tiled' became synonymous with both functional and artistic designs in architecture.
