Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the combination of 'double' (from Old French doble, from Latin duplus) and 'eagle' (from Old French egle, from Latin aquila). Originally coined in the 19th century to describe high-denomination United States gold coins worth twenty dollars, possessing twice the value of a standard eagle coin, and later adopted in golf to denote a score of three strokes under par on a single hole.
