culvertn.

Brit.

/ˈkʌlvət/, U.S.

/ˈkəlvərt/

Etymology: A recent word of obscure origin. It has been conjectured to be a corruption of French couloir, in Cotgrave also coulouëre, ‘a channel, gutter, or any such hollow, along which melted things are to run’, < couler to flow. But points of connection between the French and English words, in form and sense, are wanting. On the other hand some think ‘culvert’ an English dialect word, taken into technical use at the epoch of canal-making. No connection with covert has been traced.

a. A channel, conduit, or tunneled drain of masonry or brick-work conveying a stream of water across beneath a canal, railway embankment, or road; also applied to an arched or barrel-shaped drain or sewer.Used from c1770 in connection with canal construction; thence extended to railways, highways, town-drainage, etc. In connection with railways and highways, it is sometimes disputed whether a particular structure is a ‘culvert’ or a ‘bridge’. The essential purpose of a bridge, however, is to carry a road at a desired height over a river and its channel, a chasm, or the like; that of a culvert to afford a passage for a small crossing stream under the embankment of a railway or highway, or beneath a road where the configuration of the surface does not require a bridge. Locally, the term ‘culvert’ is often limited to a barrel drain, bricks shaped for which are known as culvert-bricks. See Notes & Queries, 8th Ser. III. 248, 377.
