The English term pilot comes from the two Dutch words pijl (pole) and lood (lead).[edit]

This is wrong. The Dutch word for the instrument to measure death is nl:peillood, not pijl lood. Pijl means arrow, not pole. nl:Peil is the Dutch term for water level surface elevation, what in english, we'd call stage. The source of this (per the encyclopedia Britannica's entry on Pilot, 11th edition) may be Hexham, in Copious English and Nether-duytch Dictionarie who translates pijloot to Pilot https://books.google.ca/books?id=o5PK3TUqKP0C&pg=PP392&lpg=PP392&dq=Copious+English+and+Nether-duytch+Dictionarie+%22pijloot%22&source=bl&ots=N3O0h0FHdF&sig=ACfU3U1aHZ7nY_5js_oyGrXN0RWp1ACEyA&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjTkOzaqtfrAhUwknIEHeoBBbQQ6AEwAHoECAEQAQ#v=onepage&q=Copious%20English%20and%20Nether-duytch%20Dictionarie%20%22pijloot%22&f=false Vexations (talk) 16:00, 7 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
