Definitions and meaning of pail

pail

Etymology

From Middle English payle (bucket, pail, milking pail), of uncertain origin.

Likely from Old English pæġel (wine vessel, container for liquids, pail; a liquid measure), from Proto-West Germanic *pagil, from Proto-Indo-European *bak- (peg, club), equivalent to peg +‎ -le. Compare German Pegel (level of liquid, level), Middle Dutch pegel (half-pint), Danish pægl (half-pint).

Alternatively from Old French paielle (frying pan, warming pan; a liquid measure), from Latin patella (small pan, shallow dish, platter), diminutive of patina (broad shallow pan, stewpan). Perhaps a conflation of both.
