Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French pavillioun, pavelon.

Etymology: < Anglo-Norman pavillioun, pavilloun, paviloun, pavelion, pavelionne and Old French pavelon, pauvellon, Middle French pawillon, Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French, French pavillon military tent (early 12th cent.; 1681 in heraldry), square ancillary building (1503; 1690 in sense ‘solitary, decorative building’), nautical flag or ensign (1541), bell of a wind instrument (1636 of a trumpet; compare pavillon n.), pavilion of the ear (1800 in pavillon d'oreille ) < classical Latin pāpiliōn- , pāpiliō butterfly, moth (see papilio n.), in post-classical Latin also tent, pavilion (Vetus Latina, Vulgate; probably originally army slang), probably from the similarity of shape when the ends of the covering are turned over at the entrance of the tent (as suggested already by authors as early as Jerome and Isidore). Compare Old Occitan pavalho, pavalhon (c1150), pabalho, pabalhon (13th cent.; Occitan pabalhon), Catalan †papalló (13th cent.), pavelló (a1380), Spanish pabellón (1459 as pavellón, < Middle French), Italian padiglione (13th cent.); also Middle Dutch paviljoen (Dutch paviljoen).The β. forms arose from vocalization and loss of -v-.

I. A tent or tent-like building.

a. A large, stately, or ornamental tent, usually rising to a central point rather than a ridge.Pavilions were principally associated with royalty, nobility, military leaders, and knights, esp. as used at jousts or on military campaigns. The word is now sometimes applied to modern marquees, esp. elaborate or decorative ones imitating the style of medieval pavilions.

Origin: A borrowing from French. Etymons: French pavillioun, pavelon. Etymology: < Anglo-Norman pavillioun, pavilloun, paviloun, pavelion, pavelionne and Old French pavelon, pauvellon, Middle French pawillon, Anglo-Norman and Old French, Middle French, French pavillon military tent (early 12th cent.; 1681 in heraldry), square ancillary building (1503; 1690 in sense ‘solitary, decorative building’), nautical flag or ensign (1541), bell of a wind instrument (1636 of a trumpet; compare pavillon n.), pavilion of the ear (1800 in pavillon d'oreille ) < classical Latin pāpiliōn- , pāpiliō butterfly, moth (see papilio n.), in post-classical Latin also tent, pavilion (Vetus Latina, Vulgate; probably originally army slang), probably from the similarity of shape when the ends of the covering are turned over at the entrance of the tent (as suggested already by authors as early as Jerome and Isidore). Compare Old Occitan pavalho, pavalhon (c1150), pabalho, pabalhon (13th cent.; Occitan pabalhon), Catalan †papalló (13th cent.), pavelló (a1380), Spanish pabellón (1459 as pavellón, < Middle French), Italian padiglione (13th cent.); also Middle Dutch paviljoen (Dutch paviljoen).The β. forms arose from vocalization and loss of -v-. I. A tent or tent-like building. 1. a. A large, stately, or ornamental tent, usually rising to a central point rather than a ridge.Pavilions were principally associated with royalty, nobility, military leaders, and knights, esp. as used at jousts or on military campaigns. The word is now sometimes applied to modern marquees, esp. elaborate or decorative ones imitating the style of medieval pavilions.
