cornicen.

Brit.

/ˈkɔːnɪs/, U.S.

/ˈkɔrnɪs/

Forms: 1500s– cornice, 1600s cornishe, corniche ( coronix), 1500s–1700s coronice, 1500s coronich ( cornix), 1500s–1800s cornish.

Etymology: The forms cornice, cornishe, were taken immediately from French and Italian equivalents: compare 16th cent. French cornice, cornise, in Cotgrave cornice, corniche ‘the cornish or brow of a piller or wall’, modern French corniche; < Italian cornice/korˈnitʃe/ ‘the ledge whereon they hang tapistrie in any roome; also an out-jetting peece or part of a house or wall’ (Florio); cornice represents the Italian spelling; French corniche, English cornish derive < Italian pronunciation. The variants coronix, coronice, are based on 16–17th cent. latinized forms. Italian cornice, the source of the word in all the modern languages, is known from the beginning of Italian literature, being frequent in Dante. In form it is identical with cornice < Latin cornix, -īcem crow (Corvus Cornix), and by Florio it is treated as the same word; in the Vocabolario della Crusca the two are separated. The Latin term for the architectural cornice was corōna (Vitruvius), and some have conjectured that the Italian cornice is in some way derived or corrupted from that word, the form coronix cited by Du Cange, and used in English by Shute in 1563, being assumed to be a connecting link. But there is no evidence for Latin coronix before 16th cent. Du Cange's example is of 1643, his example of cornix of 1605; both appear to be merely latinized forms of the Italian word, coronix being contaminated by the desire to connect it with corōna. Another suggestion is that the Italian cornice was in some way related to Latin corōnis, -idem = Greek κορωνίς, given in Hesychius in the sense τὸ τελευταῖον τῆς οἰκοδομῆς ἐπίθεμα ‘the finishing piece placed on the building’, the ‘copestone’. But this could not have phonetically given Italian cornice, unless indeed the Greek word had passed into popular Italian use, and been assimilated by popular perversion to cornice crow. Of this we have no evidence.
