binnaclen.

/ˈbɪnək(ə)l/

Forms: α. 1600s biticle, bittake, bittakle, bittakell, biddikil, 1600s–1700s bittackle, 1600s–1800s bittacle; β. 1700s– binacle, binnacle.

Etymology: The current binnacle first appears after 1750, as a corruption of the earlier bittacle (still found 1839), apparently < Spanish bitácula, bitácora ‘a place where the compasse or light is kept in a ship’ (Minsheu), or Portuguese bitácola, cognate with Italian abitacolo, Provençal abitacle, habitacle, French habitacle < Latin habitāculum habitation, lodge, < habitāre to inhabit. (A direct adoption of French habitacle, and subsequent shortening to bittacle in English, is phonetically less probable.) The 17th cent. biddikil appears to be a transitional form.

a. A box on the deck of a ship near the helm, in which the compass is placed.
