覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
skilは通常の現代英語skill「技能」のlが一つ少ない形として捉える。練習で身に付ける能力ならcommunication skills、technical skillsのように標準綴りskillを使う。古ノルド語skil「区別・判断」に由来する歴史は共通するが、現代文でskilと書けば多くの場合は綴り誤りと判断される。
Treat skil as a rare or nonstandard form of the familiar word skill. The meaning is the same: an ability developed through learning and practice, such as communication skill or technical skill. The useful spelling reminder is that standard modern English doubles the final l: skill. Its older history connects the idea of skill with judgment and the ability to distinguish things clearly. When writing contemporary English, choose skill; expect skil mainly in historical material, special names, or simple misspellings.

skil の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古ノルド語 skil（区別・判断力）に由来し、中英語で「理性・技能」の意味に発展。元は「物事を見分ける力」が原義で、そこから習得した能力・熟練の意味になった。関連語: skillful（巧みな）、skilled（熟練した）。
Skil reflects the same historical word as modern skill. English borrowed it from Old Norse skil, whose senses included “distinction,” “discernment,” and “knowledge.” In Middle English, the word developed meanings involving reason, understanding, and practical ability. Standard modern English settled on the spelling skill with two l’s. Thus skil may occur as an older or nonstandard spelling, but it is not the usual contemporary form for acquired ability.
