Definition table

Etymology

From Middle English table, tabel, tabil, tabul, from Old English tabele, tabul, tablu, tabule, tabula (“board”); also as tæfl, tæfel, an early Germanic borrowing of Latin tabula (“tablet, board, plank, chart”). The sense of “piece of furniture with the flat top and legs” is from Old French table, of same Latin origin; Old English used b?od or bord instead for this meaning: see board.
