1828 Definition

GON'DOLA, n. A flat-bottomed boat, very long and narrow, used at Venice in Italy on the canals. A gondola of middle size is about thirty feet long and four broad, terminating at each end in a sharp point or peak rising to the highth of a man. It is usually rowed by two men, called gondoliers, who propel the boat by pushing the oars. The gondola is also used in other parts of Italy for a passage boat.

[It., dim. of gonda a gondola; cf. LL. gandeia a kind of boat, Gr. (?) a drinking vessel; said to be a Persian word; cf. F. gondole gondola, cup.]

A sumptuary law of Venice required that gondolas should be painted black, and they are customarily so painted now.
