Definition culvert

Etymology

Obscure. A number of possibilities have been suggested: 1) a dialectal word; 2) a word related to the name of the now-forgotten inventor; 3) a derivation from Tamil ????????? (kalve??u, “inscription”) (??? (kal, “stone”) + ?????? (ve??u, “cut”) cut stone), a Tamil term for a carved stone bridge allowing passage of a stream below; 4) a derivation of French couvert (“covered”), although couvert is not used in this sense and the French translation of culvert is "ponceau" or "buse de drainage"; and 5) a derivation from an unrecorded Dutch word, possibly *coul-vaart, equivalent to coul- from French -- compare couler (“to flow”) + vaart (“a trip by boat, a canal”).
