Forms: Middle English–1500s canape, canope, 1500s canapee, canopi, cannopy, canyppy, conapye (? cannebe), northern canaby(e, 1500s–1600s canapie, canapy, canopie, Scottish cannabie, 1600s cannapie, canopey, 1500s– canopy.

Etymology: In 15th cent. canape, < French canapé (formerly also conopée masculine ‘a canopie, tent, or pauilion’, Cotgrave) = Spanish canapé, Portuguese canapé ‘couch, sofa’, Italian canopè (Diez), medieval Latin ‘canopeum, quod suspenditur super altare’ (Du Cange), in classical Latin cōnōpēum, cōnōpeum, cōnōpium, ‘net of fine gauze about the bed, mosquito curtains’ (Lewis & Short), ‘pavilion, tent, or bed with a tester’ (Scheller), < Greek κωνωπεῖον ‘an Egyptian bed or couch with mosquito curtains’ (Lewis & Short), < κώνωψ gnat, mosquito. The English forms may have been partly from medieval Latin, and in English the sense has adhered to ‘curtain or tester’, while in the modern Romanic languages that of ‘couch’ or ‘sofa’ has prevailed.

a. A covering or hangings suspended over a throne, couch, bed, etc., or held over a person walking in procession.
