canevas

== French == === Etymology === From a combination of Old French chanevas, chenevas and Old Picard canevach. The Old French comes from a root ultimately derived from Latin *canapus, from cannabis, such as that of chanvre, possibly through a Vulgar Latin root *cannabāceus or *cannapāceus, and the Old Picard comes from Old Northern French canevas, of ultimately the same origin as the previous word. Compare English canvas, itself borrowed from Old Northern French through Anglo-Norman. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /kan.va/ ~ /kan.vɑ/ === Noun === canevas m (invariable) (sewing) canvas; tapestry framework (cartography) network ==== Descendants ==== → Turkish: kanvas === Further reading === “canevas”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012 === Anagrams === avances, avancés, encavas == Middle English == === Alternative forms === cambace, canefas, canevase, canvas, canvase, canvasse, canwas, caunvas, kanvas === Etymology === From Old Northern French canevas, from Vulgar Latin *cannabāceus. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /kan(ə)ˈvaːs/, /ˈkan(ə)vas/ === Noun === canevas (uncountable) flaxen fabric, canvas A portion of canvas; a canvas item ==== Descendants ==== English: canvas Scots: canvas ==== References ==== “canevā̆s, n.”, in MED Online, Ann Arbor, Mich.: University of Michigan, 2007, retrieved 30 March 2018. === Adjective === canevas Made of canvas The colour of canvas; light brownish-yellow ==== Descendants ==== English: canvas Scots: canvas ==== References ==== “canevā̆s, adj.”, in MED Online, Ann Arbor, Mich.: University of Michigan, 2007, retrieved 30 March 2018. === See also === == Old French == === Noun === canevas oblique singular, m (oblique plural canevas, nominative singular canevas, nominative plural canevas) alternative form of chenevas == Romanian == === Etymology === Borrowed from French canevas. === Noun === canevas n (plural canevasuri) (cartography) network ==== Declension ====
