Etymology
Probably akin to Latin fornāx and furnus, fornus (“furnace”), and derived from the latter as *fornikos (“vaulted like a furnace”): typologically compare Ancient Greek κάμινος (káminos, “furnace”) beside καμάρα (kamára, “vaulted chamber”), both possibly from Proto-Indo-European *kh₂em- (“to bend, to curve”). See: Latin Nouns '
fornāx'.
