well there is really only 1 English word easeltho it has 2 distinct meanings
the common device long used by painters on the one hand
& on the other the less familiar device more recently adapted from it by photographers
but this single word easel
came in the late 16th century from the single dutch word for both an easel & an ass
which was & still is ezel
& both English easel & dutch ezel ultimately derive from the latin word for ass also
which is or was asinus
& its diminutive variations
which are or were asinulus & asellus
the image of a 4 legged framework as a beast of burden is also found in a gymnasts horse & a woodworkers donkey or sawhorse etc
tho the notion of a painters ass is perhaps more from the language of laughter
