A story or tale told during the day; idle gossip or daytime conversation.
From 'day' and 'tale' (Old English 'talu'). This word appears occasionally in Middle English and Early Modern English texts referring to casual daytime discourse and storytelling.
Daytale was basically the medieval version of water cooler gossip—people chatting away during daylight hours sharing rumors and stories that were often considered trivial compared to serious evening discourse!
