A traditional oven used for baking bread and other foods, typically with a domed or arched interior.
Compound of 'bake' (Old English 'bacan') and 'oven' (from Old English 'ofen' and Proto-Germanic 'ubnan'), literally meaning an oven designed for baking.
Medieval villages often had communal bakeovens where families brought their dough to cook together, making bread-making a social event and saving on fuel by sharing the heat!
