Etymology
'cupola' originates from Italian, specifically the word 'cupola', where 'cupola' (from Latin 'cupula', diminutive of 'cupa') meant 'little cask' (a reference to shape).
'cupola' changed from the Medieval Latin word 'cupula' and the Italian word 'cupola' and eventually became the modern English word 'cupola' in the 17th century.
Initially, it meant 'little cask' (referring to a rounded shape), but over time it evolved into its current meaning of 'small dome' or 'cupola atop a roof.'
