shingle

shingle: English has two distinct words shingle. The older, ‘roof tile’ [12], was borrowed from Latin scindula, a variant of scandula ‘roof tile’. This was probably derived from scandere ‘ascend’ (source of English ascend, descend, scan, etc), the underlying notion being of rows of tiles rising one above the other like steps. Shingle ‘beach pebbles’ [16] is of unknown origin; it may be related to Norwegian singl ‘coarse sand’ and North Frisian singel ‘gravel’. Shingles [14], incidentally, the name of a viral infection, comes from Latin cingulum ‘girdle’, a close relative of English cincture ‘girdle’: the disease is often characterized by skin eruptions that almost encircle the body.
=> ascend, descend, scan; cincture

shingle (n.1)

"thin piece of wood," c. 1200, scincle, from Late Latin scindula (also the source of German Schindel), altered (by influence of Greek schidax "lath" or schindalmos "splinter") from Latin scandula "roof tile," from scindere "to cleave, split," from PIE root *sked- "to split." Meaning "small signboard" is first attested 1842. Sense of "woman's short haircut" is from 1924; the verb meaning "to cut the hair so as to give the impression of overlapping shingles" is from 1857.

shingle (n.2)

"loose stones on a seashore," 1510s, probably related to Norwegian singl "small stones," or North Frisian singel "gravel," both said to be echoic of the sound of water running over pebbles.

shingle (v.)

"cover with shingles" (of houses), 1560s, from shingle (n.). Related: Shingled; shingling.
