Definitions

  1. a large, rotating machine with seats for children to ride on for amusement

Word origin

From French carrousel, from Italian carosello, from Sicilian caruseḍḍu and/or Neapolitan carusiello. Uncertain. Some suggested a derivation from carro (“cart”), from Latin carrus, but this does not fit the criteria of an appropriate morphological reconstruction. Not believed to be related to carousal.

Used in a sentence

  • That's one nice thing about carrousels,^([sic]) they always play the same song.
  • After collecting his suitcase at the baggage carousel, he left the airport.
