pasturel1 (1150-70)

The form pastoral is a cross reference to the following entry:

pasturel1 (1150-70)

pastoral,  pastorel,  pastural,  pasturele  
  FEW:  pastoralis 7,761a Gdf:  pastorelle 6,35c GdfC:  pastoral 10,293c TL: pastoral 7,470 / pastorele 7,472 DEAF:  pastoral  DMF:  pastoral  / pastourelle  TLF:  pastoral  / pastourelle  OED:  pastoral n. and adj.  MED:  pastoralle adj.  DMLBS:  pastoralis 2140a

While the FEW includes the sense of 'pastourelle, bucolic song' as a derivation of pastor (7,759a), the DMLBS suggests that this particular sense derives from the adjectival form pastoralis, likely as a result of the abbreviated locution carmen or poema pastorale. We follow the DMLBS in considering the substantive as a derivative of the adjective and include it under pasturel1, while pasturel2 represents a diminutive form of pastor.
