~ Gazebo ~

~ Gazebo ~
Mid 18th century: perhaps humorously from gaze, in imitation of Latin future tenses ending in -ebo : compare with lavabo.


The word gazebo is equally mysterious. ... Failing that, etymologists make an educated guess that he named the structure tongue-in-cheek, taking the ending -ebo from the Latin future tense and adding it to gaze, so making a hybrid word that might mean “I will look”
