köken: Inherited from Middle French chaudron, from Old French chauderon, ultimately from Late Latin caldāria (“cooking-pot”). Compare English cauldron (from the northern Old French variant caudron).
köken: Borrowed from Classical Syriac ܚܠܐ (ḥellā, “dust, secretion, powdery film; veil”) stemming from the sense of a veil clouding or covering the eyes like dust or a film.
köken: From Middle Persian dyk' (dēg, “cauldron”), from Proto-Iranian *dai(a)-ka-, from Proto-Iranian *daiH- (“to shine, radiate, light a fire”), with possible semantic contamination from Proto-Iranian *daĵ- (“to burn”). The former is from Proto-Indo-European *deyh₂- (“to shine, be bright”) and cognate with Semnani دیک (dik, “pot”), Sanskrit दीप् (dīp, “to blaze, illuminate”), Ancient Greek δέατο…
köken: First attested as Early Modern Korean 남비 (nampi) in the Maeilsinmun (매일신문), 2 June, 1898, borrowed from Japanese 鍋(なべ) (nabe, “pot”). This form reflects a shift in pronunciation due to umlaut (regressive assimilation by the second vowel ㅣ (i)). Compare now-proscribed 남비 (nambi).
köken: From earlier aula. Perhaps from Proto-Italic *aukslā (see auxilla), from Proto-Indo-European *Hukʷ-sleh₂, from Proto-Indo-European *Hukʷ- (“cooking pot”), of possible substrate origin. Compare Sanskrit उखा (ukhā), Albanian anë, Ancient Greek ἰπνός (ipnós), Proto-Germanic *uhnaz, *uhwnaz, and subsequently Old Norse and Old English ofn (whence English oven).
