THe English word "soil" dates from the 14th century. It comes from Anglo-French soil "piece of ground, place" (13th century.), from Latin solium "seat" but confusing it with Latin solum "soil, ground." The meaning "earth, dirt" (especially that which plants grow in) is attested from mid-15th century.
