Etymology 1

From Middle English dale, from Old English dæl, from Proto-West Germanic *dal, from Proto-Germanic *dalą.

Noun

dale (plural dales)

  1. (chiefly British, slightly dated outside Yorkshire etc.) A valley, often in an otherwise hilly area.
    Synonyms: dell, dells, vale
    • c. 1587, Christopher Marlowe, The Passionate Shepherd to His Love:
      And we will all the pleasures prove / That hills and valleys, dales and fields, / Woods, or steepy mountain yields
    • 1797, S[amuel] T[aylor] Coleridge, “Kubla Khan: Or A Vision in a Dream”, in Christabel: Kubla Khan, a Vision: The Pains of Sleep, London: […] John Murray, […], by William Bulmer and Co. […], published 1816, →OCLC, page 57:
      Five miles meandering with a mazy motion, / Through wood and dale the sacred river ran, / Then reached the caverns measureless to man, / And sank in tumult to a lifeless ocean: [...]
    • 1869 May, Anthony Trollope, “The Clock House at Nuncombe Putney”, in He Knew He Was Right, volume I, London: Strahan and Company, […], →OCLC, page 113:
      The country about Nuncombe Putney is perhaps as pretty as any in England. It is beyond the river Teign, between that and Dartmoor, and is so lovely in all its variations of rivers, rivulets, broken ground, hills and dales, old broken, battered, time-worn timber, green knolls, rich pastures, and heathy common, that the wonder is that English lovers of scenery know so little of it.
    • 1908, Edmund Louis Gruber, The Caissons Go Rolling Along:
      Over hill, over dale / As we hit the dusty trail, / And those caissons go rolling along.
  2. The sunken or grooved portion of the surface of a vinyl record.
    Antonym: hill
