Meaning:
A fireplace, especially a large one with a chimney.
Origin:
The word "chimenea" originated in the Latin word caminata, which referred to a path for walking. Later, the word came to be used for a room used for walking or exercising, and then for a fireplace, where people would often gather to warm themselves.
The word "chimney" is derived from the same Latin root, and originally referred to a duct or passage for smoke and gases to escape from a building. Over time, the meaning of "chimney" came to be synonymous with "fireplace."
