cureña

Spanish

Etymology

Uncertain. From older curueña, probably from an alteration of Latin columna (compare Old Occitan coronna, Milanese corogna), but probably influenced by cuero (as the carriages of crossbows were originally made of this material)[1]. Compare columna, which may be a doublet.

Noun

cureña f (plural cureñas)

  1. carriage (of gun)
