Etymology

From Old French viel, from Latin vetulus (diminutive of vetus); alternative form due to historical enchaînement of the final l. Alternatively, from the accusative form vetulum while vieux is properly from nominative vetulus as per Mildred K. Pope (From Latin to Modern French, sections 509, 808).
