Dossels

/ˈdɑsəlz/ noun

Definition

Plural of 'dossel'; multiple church cloths or tapestries in the alternative spelling.

Etymology

Plural of 'dossel,' the variant form of 'dossal.' This represents historical spelling variation that existed before English orthography was standardized.

Kelly Says

The plurals 'dossels' and 'dossals' both appearing in historical texts show how, even when referring to the same object, English writers hadn't yet settled on one 'correct' way to spell common words!
