Source etymology 1
Original entry ↗noun
Selected source glosses provide context, not a complete modern definition inventoryThe triangular area at the peak of an external wall adjacent to, and terminating, two sloped roof surfaces (pitches).
The southern English term gable probably came from Old French gable (compare modern French gâble), from Old Norse gafl. The northern form gavel is perhaps also akin to Old Norse gafl, masculine, of the same meaning (compare Swedish gavel, Danish gavl). See gafl for more etymology information.
