Etymology

Inherited from Middle French: dalle

Cognate with Dutch: daal

In summary

Inherited from Middle French dalle (“sink, gullet”), a borrowing from Old Norse dæla (“a small dale, ship's drain or pump, a small bucket, a groove, trough, trench, eaves”), from Proto-Germanic *dalą (“valley”), cognate with Dutch daal (“trough, spout”). More at dale.
