Checking on "The wind bloweth where it listeth", I was surprised at how many meanings this little word holds.

The discussion of listicle lists some information on list. Not on why it means to tilt, though.
Life is like playing chess with chessmen who each have thoughts and feelings and motives of their own.

There are also the lists in which knights in armor tried to unseat their opponents in a jousting tournament.

A variation on such tournaments, still known as jousting, consists of riding one's charger at full tilt, trying to snare a suspended ring; this is one of the state sports in Maryland. It can be quite fun to watch, and no riders or horses are damaged in the process.
