Etymology of ESPIAL

The word "espial" is derived from the Middle English term "esperer" or "espere", which in turn comes from the Old French word "espier", meaning "to spy". The Old French word can be traced back to the Latin word "speculare", which means "to spy out" or "to observe". Ultimately, the root of "espial" can be found in the Latin word "specere", which means "to see". Over time, "espial" came to refer to the act of spying or observing, especially in a secretive or covert manner.
