Word History
Etymology
Noun
Middle English panel, panele, pannel "piece of cloth, saddle cloth, pane of glass, part, division, list of jurors on a piece of parchment, jury," borrowed from Anglo-French, "section of a surface, covering on a horse, list of jurors" (continental Old & Middle French also panel, penel "piece of cloth, kind of gaiter, saddle cushion"), going back to Vulgar Latin *pannellus, from Latin pannus "piece of cloth, rag" + -ellus, diminutive suffix — more at vane
Note: Compare pane. As trial by jury was an English rather than a continental tradition, it is unsurprising that panel in the sense "list or jurors" developed only in Anglo-French.
Verb
Middle English panellen "to cover a saddle with cloth, empanel a jury," derivative of panel, panele "piece of cloth, saddle cloth, pane of glass, part, division, list of jurors on a piece of parchment, jury" — more at panel entry 1
