Etimologie

Inherited from Middle French escallier, borrowed (through written form) from Occitan escalier, from Late Latin scālārium (attested in some inscriptions), from substantivation of a plural of scālāris, from Latin scāla (“ladder”), with the locative suffix -ārium. Replaced the older French degrés and montée in this sense.
