Word Origin & History
locale
1772, from Fr. local, noun use of local (adj.), from L. locus "place." Spelling with -e is probably based on morale.
EXPAND"The word's right to exist depends upon the question whether the two indispensable words locality & scene give all the shades of meaning required, or whether something intermediate is useful." [Fowler]
