/ˈɡɒndələ//ˈɡɑːndələ/

The word "gondola" originates from the Venetian language, specifically from the dialect spoken in the city of Venice, Italy. In Venetian, the word "gondola" is derived from "gondola", which refers to a type of small, flat-bottomed boat used for transportation and fishing in the canals of Venice. Over time, the word was adopted into Italian as "gondola", and from there it was borrowed into other languages, including English. In the 17th and 18th centuries, European travelers and artists became fascinated with the unique design and craftsmanship of Venetian gondolas, and the word "gondola" came to be used metaphorically to describe any lightweight, basket-like structure suspended high above the ground or water. Today, the term "gondola" is still used in various contexts, including transportation, architecture, and engineering.
