    Legendary place in Tennyson's The Lady of Shalott and elsewhere, identified with Guildford by Malory.

词源

The variation between Ast- and Asc- suggest that it comes from Welsh ystol, alternate form Welsh ysgol, both meaning ladder (and derived from Latin scala). The suffix is diminutive, probably meaning flight of stairs (since she lived in a tower). Thus lady of the staircase.
