camminata

== Italian == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /kam.miˈna.ta/ Rhymes: -ata Hyphenation: cam‧mi‧nà‧ta === Etymology 1 === Deverbal formed with the feminine past participle of camminare (“to walk”). ==== Noun ==== camminata f (plural camminate) walk, especially a long one style of walking ==== References ==== camminata1 in Treccani.it – Vocabolario Treccani on line, Istituto dell'Enciclopedia Italiana === Etymology 2 === From Late Latin camīnāta, derived from Latin camīnus (“fireplace”). From the latter came the Italian camino~cammino (“fireplace, chimney”), which shows the same /m/~/mm/ variation. This variation may have resulted from contamination with the unrelated cammino (“path”) and its derivative camminata (“a walk”). Compare Sicilian caminata (“walk, way”), which never geminated. ==== Alternative forms ==== caminata ==== Noun ==== camminata f (plural camminate) (archaic) room with a fireplace (by extension) a spacious room ==== References ==== camminata2 in Treccani.it – Vocabolario Treccani on line, Istituto dell'Enciclopedia Italiana
