cantilevern.

Brit.

/ˈkantᵻliːvə/,

/ˈkantl̩iːvə/, U.S.

/ˈkæn(t)əˌlivər/,

/ˈkæn(t)əˌlɛvər/

Forms: Also 1600s candi-, 1600s–1800s canti-, 1700s–1800s cantaliver, 1700s cantaliever, 1700s–1800s cantalever.

Etymology: The spelling candilever found in the 17th cent. (if of any authority) compared with the Spanish ‘can debaxo de la viga , mutilus super quem capita trabium imponuntur, a corbel in masonry’ (Minsheu Voc. Hisp. 1617), naturally suggests some such Spanish phrase as can de llevar , ‘modillion for carrying or bearing’: but of this there is actually no trace. On the other hand the name ‘flying lever bridge’ used in A treatise on Bridge-building by T. Pope, New York, 1811, for what is now called a ‘cantilever bridge’, and the term ‘framed lever’ used for cantilever in Tredgold's Carpentry 1828, indicate that lever in its ordinary mechanical sense, is part of the word. For the first part we then think of cant n.¹, but as to the meaning in which that word might be here used, or the nature of the combination in canti-lever or canta-lever, no satisfactory suggestion can be offered. (Smyth Sailor's Word-bk., has canting-livre = console-bracket.)

1. Architecture. A kind of bracket or support of stone, wood, or iron, whose length is many times its breadth and more than twice its depth, which projects from the wall of a building for the support of a balcony, the upper members of a cornice, eaves of a house, etc.; also attributive, as in cantilever cornice, cantilever principle.
