Middle English

Noun

oil

1. Alternative form of oyle

Old French

Etymology 1

From o +? il, possibly from:

• Latin hoc ille (“this [is what] he [said]”), akin to o je, o tu, o nos, o vos, all ‘this’ constructed with other personal pronouns;
• hoc illud (“this is it, lit. this that”).

In any case, an elliptical phrase of response, by semantic erosion/grammaticalization possibly calqued on Gaulish: compare Portuguese and Spanish isso and eso (“yes, yeah”, literally “this”), Celtic languages such as Old Irish tó (“yes”), Welsh do (“indeed”), from *tod (“this, that”).

Compare with Old French o, ou, oc, ec, euc, uoc, Old Occitan oc (Occitan òc), all from the simple Latin hoc.

Alternative forms

• oïl (almost always used by scholars to disambiguate with other meanings)

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /??il/
