cruciblen.

/ˈkruːsɪb(ə)l/

Forms: Middle English corusible, ( kressibulle), 1600s– crucible, (1600s crusiple, chrusiple, crysiple, 1700s cruzible).

Etymology: < medieval Latin crucibulum, -bolum, originally a night-lamp, later a melting pot for metals—the only English sense. Apparently a derivative of Latin crux , crucis Cross: compare the kindred words Italian crociuolo , Old French croiseul , later French croiset , creuset , < Italian croce , French croix , and see Du Cange, Littré, Hatzfeld, who suggest for the original sense ‘lamp with crossed wicks giving 4 flames’, but this is doubtful: compare crusell n. A 15th cent. Vocabulary in Wright-Wülcker 576/9 has ‘Crassipulum, Crassipularium, Crucibolum, a Cresset’, where the two synonyms appear to be derivatives of crassus fat, crassa grease; but their association with crucibolum appears to be due to popular etymology.

a. A vessel, usually of earthenware, made to endure great heat, used for fusing metals, etc.; a melting-pot.
