Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French syntre, cintre.
Etymology: < Anglo-Norman syntre and Middle French cintre vault (1300 in Old French; earlier currency is probably implied by Old French cintreel (c1260)), temporary supporting framework (late 14th cent. or earlier in Anglo-Norman, 1549 in Middle French) < cintrer to provide with a vault (although this is apparently first attested later: 1349, earliest in the past participle chintré ) < an unattested post-classical Latin verb *cincturare to girdle or gird < cinctūra cincture n. Compare post-classical Latin cintra , cintrus , cintor (frequently from 12th cent. in British sources). Compare centre n.2, centering n., centring n.2, cintern n., and also α. forms at full centre n. and adj.It is unclear whether the following early example is to be interpreted as showing the Middle English or the Anglo-Norman word (in an otherwise unattested form):1399–1400 Accts. Exchequer King's Remembrancer (P.R.O.: E 101/473/11) m. 1 Pro iiijC pedibus bordarum..emptis pro duobus Cyntours inde faciendis ad supportandum arcum Magne fenestre. Quot. 1371 could also show the Anglo-Norman rather than the Middle English word (again, in an otherwise unattested form). N.E.D. (1889) gives the pronunciation as (si·ntəɹ) /ˈsɪntə(r)/.
Building. Obsolete.
A temporary framework used to support an arch, dome, etc., esp. while it is under construction; (in plural) the pieces comprising this. Cf. centre n.2 1, centring n.2In the 16th and 17th centuries apparently chiefly Scottish.
