Gondola
(gcide) | Gondola \Gon"do*la\, n. [It., dim. of gonda a gondola; cf. LL.
gandeia a kind of boat, Gr. ? a drinking vessel; said to be a
Persian word; cf. F. gondole gondola, cup.]
[1913 Webster]
1. A long, narrow boat with a high prow and stern, used in
the canals of Venice. A gondola is usually propelled by
one or two oarsmen who stand facing the prow, or by
poling. A gondola for passengers has a small open cabin
amidships, for their protection against the sun or rain. A
sumptuary law of Venice required that gondolas should be
painted black, and they are customarily so painted now.
[1913 Webster]

3. A long platform car, either having no sides or with very
low sides, used on railroads. [U. S.]
