单词 chimney
释义

chimneyn.

Brit. /ˈtʃɪmni/, U.S. /ˈtʃɪmni/
Forms: Middle English chimenee, chymenay, Middle English cheminey, chymeney(e, Middle English–1600s chymney, Middle English– chimney. Also Middle English chimenai, chymnee, chemne, chimne, Middle English chymenei, chimeneye, chymne, chemney, chemyney, Middle English chemeney, chemenye, chemene, chymene, chymnei, chymeny, chymyney, chympne, schimnay, Middle English–1500s chymny(e, 1500s chimeney, chameney, chyminey, chymnaye, chymmeney, chimnie, chimnye, chimnej, 1500s–1600s chimneye, 1600s–1700s chimny, Scottish1500s chimlay, chymlay, chimblay, 1700s chimla, 1700s–1800s (also dialect) chimlie, chimley, chimly, chumley, chumlay; also dialect and vulgar chimbly.
Etymology: Middle English chimenee, etc., < Old French (and modern French) cheminée fireplace, and chimney, corresponding to Italian cam(m)inata fireplace, room with a fireplace < late Latin camīnāta, derivative of Latin camīnus ‘furnace, forge, oven’. Pliny ( H.N. xvii. xi) has fossūra camīnāta ‘hole dug out oven-shape, wider below’. Caminata as noun occurs in a Frankish document anno 584 ‘solarium cum caminata’. From the persistence of the medial i in Old French it is seen that the word was not an ancient popular word, but a very early adoption of caminata with subsequent phonetic evolution. As the usual sense in medieval Latin is ‘room with a fireplace’, it is assumed that this was short for camera caminata. The sequence of senses as seen in Italian, French, and English is ‘room with a fireplace’, ‘fireplace’, ‘smoke-vent over a fireplace’.
