a ball (of German origin, akin to E. ball) + magio hammer,
fr. L. malleus. See lst {Ball}, and {Mall} a beetle.]
A game formerly common in England, in which a wooden ball was
driven with a mallet through an elevated hoop or ring of

London, still called Pall Mall. [Written also {pail-mail} and
{pell-mell}.] --Sir K. Digby. Evelyn.
