Fusion of Old English engel (with hard -g-) and Old French angele. Both are from Late Latin angelus, from Greek angelos.

From Old French carole "kind of dance in a ring, round dance accompanied by singers". Perhaps from Medieval Latin choraula ' a dance to the flute'.

From Old French cheminee "fireplace; room with a fireplace; hearth; chimney stack" (12c., Modern French cheminée), from Medieval Latin caminata "a fireplace,"
