The word "Ordsall" is a place name that originates from Old English. It is a combination of two elements: "ord" and "sæt" or "sæth".
The first element, "ord", is derived from the Old English word "ord", meaning "point" or "tip". It could refer to a projecting piece of land or possibly a promontory.
The second element, "sæt" or "sæth", means "settlement" in Old English. This could have referred to a village or a small community.
Therefore, the word "ordsall" likely meant something like "settlement on a point" or "village on a promontory". The name might have described a settlement located on a piece of land extending into a body of water, such as a river or a lake.
