Etymology

The French noun *dentelle* (“lace”) comes from Old French *dentelle* (c. 13th c.), which in turn derives from the Latin diminutive *dentellus* (little tooth). It is related to *dens* “tooth”, reflecting the tooth‑like, serrated pattern of fine lace. The term entered Middle French in the 15th century and has remained unchanged in spelling and sense.
