Forms: 1700s karboy, 1700s– carboy, 1800s corabah.

Origin: A borrowing from Persian. Etymon: Persian qarāba.

Etymology: Ultimately < Persian qarāba large flagon (for wine, rose water, etc.; of uncertain origin, perhaps related to Arabic qirba large leather bottle, water-skin), with (in English) unexplained syncope of the medial syllable and probable alteration of the ending (perhaps after boy n.¹: compare demijohn n.; although compare also degamboy n., saveloy n. for possible phonological parallels). Compare later carafe n.Compare the following early attestation of the Persian word in a post-classical Latin context:1712 E. Kæmpfer Amœnitatum Exoticarum ii. 379 [Referring to the wine trade of Shiraz] Vasa vitrea, alia sunt majora, ampullacea & circumducto scirpo tunicata, quæ vocant Karabà... Venit Karaba una apud vitriarios duobus mamudi, rarò cariùs.

Originally: a large globular bottle, covered with basketwork for protection, used chiefly for transporting wine. In later use: a large globular bottle with a narrow neck for holding pharmaceutical or corrosive liquids (now historical). Now: a large, wide, cylindrical or rectangular container with a short, narrow neck, typically made of glass or plastic and used for containing liquid chemicals and in making wine or beer on a small scale.
