Etymology
1. 1707, not recorded again until 1848, probably from M.E.
stencellen "decorate with bright colors," from M.Fr.
estenceler "cover with sparkles or stars, powder with color," from
estencele "spark, spangle," from V.L.
*stincilla, metathesis of L.
scintilla "spark." The verb meaning "to produce a design with a stencil" is first recorded 1861.
2. Likely a nominalization of Middle English stencellen (“to garnish with bright hues”), borrowed from Middle French estinceller (“to glisten”), from Old French estenceler (“to spark”), from Old French estencele (“spark”), from Vulgar Latin *stincilla, from metathesis of Latin scintilla (“spark”).
3. The verb is from the noun. See: Middle French '
estinceller'.
