Origin and history of stoled

Middle English stol, from Old English stole "long garment, robe; scarf-like garment worn around the neck or over the shoulder by clergymen," from Latin stola "robe, vestment" (also source of Old French estole, Modern French étole, Spanish estola, Italian stola), from Greek stolē "a long robe;" originally "garment, equipment," from root of stellein "to place, array," with a secondary sense of "to put on" robes, etc. (from PIE root *stel- "to put, stand, put in order," with derivatives referring to a standing object or place).

The meaning "women's long garment of fur or feathers," shaped somewhat like the ecclesiastical stole, is attested from 1889.
