Etymology of SPADILLE

The word "Spadille" originated from the French language. It is derived from the Old Italian word "spade" meaning "sword" or "spade" (the suit of cards), which was borrowed into French as "épée". Over time, "épée" evolved into "spade" in French, referring to the suit of spades in a deck of cards. "Spadille" is a variation of "spade", specifically used to refer to the ace of spades, which is traditionally the highest-ranking card in many card games.
