Etymology: Related to Low German daal or Dutch daal (“lowers, descends”) and French dalle (“trough; conduit”). Attested in English since the seventeenth century.

    The pump-dale scupper is that to which the dale leads, that conveys the water from the pumps to the side on the lower deck of large ships.
