Titel

/ˈtaɪtəl/ noun

Definition

German word for 'title', sometimes used in English contexts or as a misspelling of 'title'.

Etymology

From German 'Titel', borrowed from Latin 'titulus' meaning 'inscription' or 'label'. The German word follows the same etymological path as English 'title' but through different linguistic evolution in Germanic languages.

Kelly Says

Seeing 'titel' instead of 'title' is a delightful reminder of how closely related English and German are - both words trace back to the same Latin root but evolved slightly differently, like linguistic cousins who grew up in different countries!
