Forms:

α. 1500s– cannonade, 1500s– canonade (now nonstandard), 1600s canonad, 1600s canonnad.

β. 1600s cannonado, 1600s canonado.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation; perhaps modelled on a French lexical item. Etymons: cannon n.1, -ade suffix.
Etymology: < cannon n.1 + -ade suffix, perhaps after Middle French canonnade (1552; French cannonade ), itself (with suffix substitution: see -ade suffix) after Italian cannonata (1518).The French word was also borrowed into other European languages; compare Spanish cañonada (early 17th cent.), German Kanonade (17th cent.). With the β. forms compare -ado suffix. The Italian original of quot. 1562 does not use cannonata or a similar term.
1. A continued discharge of cannon or heavy artillery; an attack using cannon. Also as a mass noun: continuous gunfire, esp. using heavy artillery. Also figurative.
