† caˈvazion Arch. Obs.—0
[ad. It. cavazione (= cavamento, il cavare) hollowing. Phillips' entry is derived from a passage in Palladio Quattro Lib. d. Architett. i. vii. (where, however, ed. 1601 has cauatione). Bailey, 1721, has both cavation and cavazion; in 1731–42 the latter is also entered as cavation, but in 1761 and later edd. it is again made cavazion. The folios 1730 and 1736 have only cavazion, in which they are followed by Johnson.]
(See quot.)
