Feck, i'll have to google it now.
Searched about 8 dictionaries, only one came up with a mantion of it being used in this way at all!
Merriam webster.
"tilt"
noun (2)
Definition of tilt (Entry 3 of 4)
: a canopy for a wagon, boat, or stall
Middle English teld, telte tent, canopy, from Old English teld; akin to Old High German zelt tent"
So basically the same root as a tent!

Those posts were made While i was doing the research and kept my reply open till i'd done it So when I posted it I didn't realise I'd missed all the others in the interim.
