Cheminee

/ˌʃɛmɪˈneɪ/ noun

Definition

A fireplace or chimney, especially as used in architectural or design contexts.

Etymology

From French cheminée, meaning fireplace or chimney (from Latin caminus, furnace). This French term entered English architectural vocabulary in the 18th-19th centuries.

Kelly Says

The word 'cheminee' shows how design vocabulary often borrows from French—many architectural terms we use today came from French because France was the center of high design and fashion for centuries.
