cupola的词源解释,cupola来源

cupola(n.)

在建筑学中,一种拱顶或小圆顶,1540年代,源自意大利语 cupola,源自晚期拉丁语 cupula “小桶”,是拉丁语 cupa “木桶,酒桶”的缩小形式(参见 cup(n.))。因此,“任何结构的圆顶顶部”。

The Italian word signifies a hemispherical roof which covers a circular building, like the Pantheon at Rome or the temple of Vesta at Tivoli. Most modern cupolas are semi-elliptical, cut through their shortest diameter; but the greater number of ancient cupolas were hemispherical. In colloquial use, the cupola is often considered as a diminutive dome, or the name is specifically applied to a small structure rising above a roof and often having the character of a tower or lantern, and in no sense that of a dome. [Century Dictionary, 1897]
意大利语单词表示覆盖圆形建筑物的半球形屋顶,例如罗马的万神殿或蒂沃利的维斯塔神庙。大多数现代圆顶是半椭圆形的,通过它们最短的直径切割; 但大多数古代圆顶是半球形的。在口语中,圆顶通常被认为是一个缩小的圆顶,或者这个名字特别适用于一个小结构,高于屋顶,通常具有塔或灯笼的特征,而不是圆顶的特征。[世纪词典,1897年]
