Some say that the word “gondola ” is derived from the Latin cymbula, which was the name of a small boat, or from conchula, diminutive of concha, which means“ shell. ”
Daži uzskata, ka tas radies no latīņu cilmes vārda cymbula, ar kuru apzīmēja nelielu laivu, vai no conchula, kas ir vārda concha (” gliemežnīca ”) pamazināmā forma.
