awningn.

Brit.

/ˈɔːnɪŋ/, U.S.

/ˈɔnɪŋ/,

/ˈɑnɪŋ/

Forms: Also (1600s yawning), 1700s auning.

Etymology: A word of obscure origin, apparently at first only in nautical use. Probably to be referred (as by Wedgwood) to French auvent ‘a penthouse of cloth, etc. before a shop window, etc.’ Cotgrave, early plurals in Littré auvens , auvans , medieval Latin auvanna , auvannus , whence *auvan , *auwn , awn ; the termination is of course English -ing suffix¹. E. Müller refers it to Low German havenung, < haven harbour, in sense of ‘a shelter from wind and weather’; Skeat compares ‘Persian áwan, áwang, anything suspended, awangān hanging, awnang a clothes-line’; but neither of these is applied in its own language to an awning; in particular an eastern origin seems incompatible with the history. French auvent is itself of doubtful etymology. See Diez, Littré, Du Cange.

1. A roof-like covering of canvas or similar material, used as a shelter from sun, rain, etc.; esp. above the deck of a vessel.
