samovar
English edit
Etymology edit
From Russian самова́р (samovár, “self-boiler”); from само́ (samó, “self”) + вари́ть (varítʹ, “boil, cook”).
Noun edit
samovar (plural samovars)
- A metal urn with a spigot, for boiling water for making tea. Traditionally, the water is heated by hot coals or charcoal in a chimney-like tube which runs through the center of the urn. Today, it is more likely that the water is heated by an electric coil.
- 1919, Ronald Firbank, Valmouth, Duckworth, hardback edition, page 107
- Come on now with the samovar - and make haste sorting the letter-bag.
- 1932, Maurice Baring, chapter 20, in Friday's Business[1]:
- Eurydice pointed to the cupboard, and sat down on the low divan with folded hands, and looked at the floor. […] Elsa made her drink a glass of vodka. Then she fetched the samovar from the kitchen, and made tea.
- 1919, Ronald Firbank, Valmouth, Duckworth, hardback edition, page 107
