gaoled
Locked up, British
Gaoled is the British spelling of jailed—confined in a prison or jail.
The spelling reflects the older French-derived form that British English retained while American English simplified to jail.
He was gaoled for six months for fraud.
The spelling is increasingly rare even in Britain, where jail now predominates.
