new·el
nu l
14世纪中期, nouel, nowe l,“螺旋楼梯的中央柱的一节,从中心柱上延伸出螺旋楼梯的台阶,石柱”,源自古法语 noel, noiel, novel “旋钮,中央柱,核心,石头”(现代法语 noyau),源自通俗拉丁语 *nodellus “小结”,是拉丁语 nodulus 的一种缩小形式,后者本身是 nodus “结”的一种缩小形式(来自 PIE 词根 *ned- “绑,系”)。
Klein 的来源表明,法语单词可能来自加洛-罗马语 *nucale,源自拉丁语 nux “坚果”。木工术语“楼梯顶部或底部的高大而多少装饰性的柱子”始于1833年(在这个意义上的 newel-post 始于1798年)。
Middle English nowell, from Anglo-French nuel, noel stone of a fruit, stone cut to form a newel, from Late Latin nucalis like a nut, from Latin nuc-, nux nut — more at nut
The first known use of newel was in the 14th century
