Etymology of STOCKPILE

The word "stockpile" originated from the combination of two words, "stock" and "pile".

The term "stock" is derived from the Old English word "stocc", which refers to a tree trunk or a wooden post. Over time, it evolved to mean a piece of wood or a log used for various purposes. The sense of "accumulated supply" or "store of goods" emerged in the late 17th century.

The word "pile" comes from the Latin word "pilum", meaning a spade or a mound. In Old English, "pile" referred to a heap or large quantity of something. It also evolved to describe a large building that stores goods or a stack of objects.

The combination of "stock" and "pile" created the word "stockpile", which originally referred to a large accumulation of logs or firewood.
