ˈkimnel Obs. exc. dial.
Forms: α. 3 (kembelina), 4 kym-, kemelyn, 5 kymlyn(e, 5–6 kemelin(e, 5–7 -ing, 6 kymlen, -ling, gim-, 7 kimline, -linge, -blinge, kemelling, 9 (dial.) kimlin(g, gimlin. β. 5–6 kymnell(e, 6 kimen-, kimn-, kimmell, 7 kym-, kimnel(l, kemell, 9 (dial.) kimnel.
[ME. kem(b)elin, kim(e)lin, and kim(e)nel, of somewhat obscure formation, but app. related to OE. cumb, ME. combe, coomb1: see sense 2 there.
The earlier form is that in -lin; for that in -nel, cf. cracknel from F. craquelin (also surviving as cracklin(g). More obscure is the Sc. kimmon(d cumming, which also has a parallel in cracon(d = cracknel. Mätzner compares med.L. cimiline, ciminile, but this denotes a basin for washing the hands in, and is regarded by Du Cange as an aphetized form of aqui- or aquamanile used in the same sense.]
A tub used for brewing, kneading, salting meat, and other household purposes.
