In the original form of the word, it contained the suffix -tilt, which is derived from the Old French word telt, meaning a fabric booth. The suffix -yard is also derived from the French word yar, meaning enclosure. This combination of the two words created a new term, which referred to an arena or a yard in which jousts, tournaments and contests of skill were performed.

Over time, the word underwent subtle changes in spelling and pronunciation, but still retained its basic meaning. In modern usage, the word tiltyard is often used to refer to any area or enclosure in which competitive events such as jousts and tournaments are conducted.
