The terminal -d was dropped 16c. shoal (n.2) "large number" (especially of fish), 1570s, apparently identical with Old English scolu "band, troop, crowd of fish" (see school (n.2)); but perhaps rather a 16c. adoption of cognate Middle Dutch schole. shoal (v.) "assemble in a multitude," c.1600, from shoal (n.2). Related: Shoaled; shoaling. |
