单词 veranda
释义

verandan.

Brit. /vəˈrandə/, U.S. /vəˈrændə/
Forms: α. 1700s– veranda (1700s verando, verander). β. 1700s– verandah. γ. 1700s–1800s viranda, virandah (1700s virando, virander). δ. 1700s feranda, feerandah, verunda, voranda, 1700s–1800s varanda, 1800s varhandah.
Etymology: Originally introduced from India, where the word is found in several Indian languages, as Hindi varandā, Bengali bārāndā, modern Sanskrit baranda, but appears to be merely an adoption of Portuguese and older Spanish varanda (baranda) railing, balustrade, balcony. French véranda appears to have been adopted < English. The evidence for the origin of the word is fully presented in Yule and Burnell's Hobson-Jobson. The supposition that it was native to India accounts for some of the spellings placed under δ.
a. An open portico or light roofed gallery extending along the front (and occasionally other sides) of a dwelling or other building, frequently having a front of latticework, and erected chiefly as a protection or shelter from the sun or rain.
