Etymology of AULNAGER

The word "Aulnager" has its roots in Middle English. It is derived from the Old French noun "aulnage" which meant "measurement" or "yard measure". The Old French word, in turn, came from the Latin adjective "alnarius", meaning "pertaining to the ell". The ell was a medieval unit of length equivalent to about 45 inches. An aulnager was a medieval official responsible for measuring and inspecting fabrics to ensure they met the required standards, particularly in terms of length and quality.
