Etymology

From Middle English kilne, from Old English cyln, cylen, cylin (large oven, kiln), from Latin culīna (kitchen, kitchen stove).

Middle English -ln(e) usually becomes modern -ll as in mill. The pronunciation /kɪln/ may be based on dialects in which this simplification did not take place, but it must have been at least reinforced by spelling pronunciation.

Pronunciation

  • (General American, Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /kɪl(n)/
  • Rhymes: -ɪln, -ɪl
  • Homophone: kill (for the pronunciation /kɪl/)

Noun

kiln (plural kilns)

  1. An oven or furnace or a heated chamber, for the purpose of hardening, burning, calcining or drying anything; for example, firing ceramics, curing or preserving tobacco, or drying grain.
