Schachtel

== German == === Etymology === 15th century, from Italian scatola, with metathesis from Latin castulum, itself a diminutive of Lombardic Old High German kasto. Hence a doublet of inherited Kasten as well as the later borrowing Schatulle. The -ch- is due to a Bavarian consonantal development, for which compare Spachtel. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈʃaxtəl/, [ˈʃaχ.tl̩] === Noun === Schachtel f (genitive Schachtel, plural Schachteln, diminutive Schächtelchen n or Schächtlein n) a small, usually square box, package or case (vulgar, obsolete) vulva, vagina Synonym: Dose (derogatory, chiefly in alte Schachtel) woman ==== Declension ==== ==== Derived terms ==== alte Schachtel ==== See also ==== Kasten Kiste Paket Verpackung === Further reading === “Schachtel” in Duden online “Schachtel”, in Digitales Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache‎[1] (in German) “Schachtel” in Deutsches Wörterbuch von Jacob und Wilhelm Grimm, 16 vols., Leipzig 1854–1961.
