An archaic or dialectal variant of 'angel'; a spiritual being in religious traditions.
From Old English engel (also spelled engle), borrowed from Latin angelus, which came from Greek angelos meaning 'messenger.'
The word 'angel' came all the way from Greek through Latin and into Old English, so it's over 2,000 years old—seeing variant spellings like 'engle' shows us what it sounded like to medieval English speakers!
