Etymology
The word 'towel' originates from the Middle English term 'towl' which means a cloth or piece of fabric used for drying. It is derived from the Old French 'toaille', which also means towel. The French term has its roots in the Latin word 'taliฤ', which referred to a piece of cloth or a napkin. The evolution of the term reflects the practical use of cloth in various cultures for drying and cleaning purposes. The verb form 'to towel' emerged later in the English language, denoting the action associated with the use of a towel. Over time, the word has maintained its essential meaning, illustrating the enduring relevance of this common household item. Today, 'towelled' is widely recognized in both spoken and written English as an action completed with a towel.
