Definite, AF panel, panell, pannelle (a list of jurors, 13th century), AF and Old French panel = a piece of cloth or horse-cloth (1160-74; 1213 as peniau, etc.); from L pannus = cloth. The Medieval L form panellus, panella, panellum (a piece or strip of cloth or a horse-cloth), possibly derived from Old French (cf. DMLBS X, 2095, s.v. 'panellus').
