Origin of Hiddle

From Middle English hidel, hydel, alteration, due to final s mistaken for the plural ending, of Middle English hidils, hudels (“hiding-place, concealment”), from Old English hȳdels (“a place of concealment, hiding-place, cavern, cave”), equivalent to hide +‎ -le. For loss of final s compare also burial, riddle. More at hide.
