A French form of the word for cinnamon or canella; also used in English to refer to cinnamon-flavored items or the spice itself.
From Old French and French 'canelle' (cinnamon), from Latin 'canna' via Romance languages. French maintained a different spelling than English while sharing the same root.
French 'canelle' and English 'canella' both come from the same Latin root but split into different forms—it's a fossil record of how Romance languages evolved differently after the Roman Empire fell.
