Casule

/ˈkæʒul/ noun

Definition

An alternate or archaic spelling of casula; a sleeveless religious vestment.

Etymology

A variant spelling of casula, showing older English orthography before standardization of ecclesiastical terminology.

Kelly Says

Religious vestment names vary wildly across different European languages and historical periods—what we call a 'chasuble' in English shows how pronunciation drift created entirely different words from the same Latin root.
