/ˈkɔːldrən/
Forms: Middle English caudroun, Middle English cauderoun, cawdroun, caudren, ( gaudroun), kawdron, Middle English cawdrone, cawdrun, Middle English–1600s caudron, Middle English cawdren, cawderowne, cawdurne, cawtron, caudryn, calderon, Middle English–1500s caldrone, Middle English–1600s cawdron, 1500s cauderne, caulderne, cautherne, cowderon, Middle English– caldron, 1500s cauldron.

Etymology: Middle English caud(e)ron, -oun, < Anglo-Norman and Old Northern French caud(e)ron, -oun, corresponding to central Old French chaud(e)ron, Spanish calderon, Italian calderone, augmentative of *caldario, *calderio < Latin caldārium hot-bath, of which the plural caldāria exists in Italian caldaja, Portuguese caldeira, Spanish caldera, Provençal caudiera, Norman French caudiere, French chaudière kettle. The l is a later insertion of the Renaissance, in imitation of Latin, which has gradually been recognised in pronunciation: Scots has still caudron, cauðron. The spelling cauldron decidedly preponderates in modern use, though the dictionaries from Johnson downward have favoured caldron.
