释义 | caraveln. Nautical. 1. A kind of ship: variously applied at different times, and in relation to different countries: (originally) the same as carvel n., which was the earlier vernacular form; but since the term came to be only historical, usually written caravel, like senses 1(a), 1(b). In later times applied to: (a) the Portuguese caravela, a small ship with lateen sails; (b) the Turkish war-frigate, called in Italian caravella.
