Encyclopedia Britannica



GAOL, or JAIL

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 455 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GAOL, or JAIL , a prison (q.v.). The two forms of the word are due to the parallel dual forms in Old Central and
Norman
 
French
  respectively, jaiole or jaole, and gaiole or geyolle. The common origin is the med. Lat. gabiole, a diminutive formed from caved, a hollow, a den, from which the
English
  "cave " is derived. The form "
gaol
  " still commonly survives in
English
 , and is in
official
  usage, e.g. "
gaol
 -delivery," but the common pronunciation of both words, " jail," shows the real surviving word.
