語源

A table (furniture)

A table of characters in the Arabic alphabet

Inherited from 中期英語 table, tabel, tabil, tabul, from 古期英語 tabele, tabul, tablu, tabule, tabula (“board”); also as tæfl, tæfel, an early Germanic borrowing of Latin tabula (“tablet, board, plank, chart”). The sense of “piece of furniture” is from Old French table, of same Latin origin; 古期英語 used bēod or bord instead for this meaning: see board. Doublet of tabula and tavla.
