cameon.

/ˈkamiːəʊ/

Etymology: < Italian caméo, camméo, corresponding to medieval Latin cammæus (Du Cange): of unknown derivation. Rarely accented as in Italian on e. The modern French camée (masculine) is < Italian cameo (also cammeo , both in Florio 1611). Older French forms were camehu , cameu , camaheu , camahieu , gamahieu (whence Middle High German gâmaheu ), camahier , camayeu , and camaïeu still in use, whence occasional English camaieu n. in 18th cent. Spanish has camafeo (in Minsheu 1623) Portuguese camafeo (also according to Diez camafeio, camafeu); medieval Latin had camahutus (in England) 1295, camahotus, camahelus, camaheu, 14th cent.; Du Cange has also camasil, camaynus, camayx; camæus (Lives of Abbots of St. Albans). Some of these, possibly all, are formed from the modern languages, though the relations between the earliest known forms, medieval Latin camahūtus, and Old French camehu, cameu, all found in England in 13th cent. documents, are uncertain. Of the derivation nothing is yet known: guesses may be seen in Mahn, Diez, and Littré.

1. A precious stone having two layers of different colours, in the upper of which a figure is carved in relief, while the lower serves as a ground. For this purpose the ancients used the onyx, agate, etc., and especially the sardonyx, ‘a variety of chalcedony, consisting of alternate parallel layers of white and red chalcedony’, which was carved so as to leave a white figure in relief on a red ground. Thence extended to all lapidary's work of the same kind; and in modern times (‘by abuse’ Littré says) to similar carving in shells of molluscs, of which the inner stratum is differently coloured from the outer.
