Do you know what the origin of "Grail" is? The word comes from "Gale" which means "the stone" and "al" which means "high", "above".

So "Grail" simply means "above the stone". In this sense, the quest for the Grail, which, by the way, is a way of chivalry, is the quest for a stone, perhaps the philosopher's stone of the Alchemists...

Several words that include "Gale" also refer to this way of chivalry to the quest of the Grail, up to you to find which ones...

(some elements of answer in a next "In Brief")
