mantuan.2

Brit. /ˈmantjʊə/, /ˈmantʃʊə/, U.S. /ˈmæn(t)ʃəwə/
Forms: 1600s mantoa, 1600s mantue, 1600s– mantua. Also with capital initial.
Origin: A variant or alteration of another lexical item. Etymon: manteau n.
Etymology: Variant of manteau n., after Mantua n.1The popularity of Mantua cloth in the 17th cent. (not all made in Mantua) and the coincidence of the names Mantua , manteau , manto , mant (and their etymons) inevitably led to confusion. The city name Mantua occurs in the form Mantoa in the 17th cent. (compare also Middle English Mantoan , variant of Mantuan n.), which suggests close similarity in pronunciation to manteau ; a similar analogical transformation can be seen in the 16th-cent. borrowing portmanteau n., of which port-mantua was a not uncommon form during the 17th cent.
Now historical.
A kind of loose gown worn by women, fashionable esp. in the late 17th and early 18th centuries. Occasionally attributive, in mantua cloth, mantua gown, etc.
