haillon

common noun

Syllable Decomposition

haillon

derived with -on, either from Old French hailles (rags) see guenille and guenillon, or from Old High German hadel see hader and hadr; hadel gives the feminine haille as nudel gives nouille. The borrowing is old given the area of extension in Walloon, Champenois, and Picard dialects while Norman has désaillé ('worn out (referring to clothing)'), déheiller ('to tear into shreds'), Breton has haillevodet ('beggar, scoundrel').
