Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

Derived from the Middle English 'level', from Old French 'livel', and ultimately from the Latin 'libella', meaning a diminutive of 'libra' (a balance or weight). Historically used by masons to describe a horizontal surface or instrument for checking horizontality, the term later expanded metaphorically to denote relative position on a scale or standard.
