cunetten.

/kjuːˈnɛt/

Forms: Also 1600s cunett.

Etymology: < French cunette (1642 in Oudin), < Italian cunetta (1611 in Florio) in same sense. This is said by Hatzfeld and Darmesteter to be an aphæretic form of lacunetta (diminutive of lacuna lagoon, ditch, etc.), the la- being confounded with the definite article. According to Th. Corneille lacunette was the original form in French also.

Fortification.

A trench sunk along the middle of the dry ditch or moat, serving as a drain, and as an obstacle to the passage of the enemy, or to prevent mining.
