lagoonal

adjective

Example sentencesExamples

Origin

Early 17th century: from Italian and Spanish laguna, from Latin lacuna (see lacuna).

lake from Old English:
A lake was once a pond or pool: it is from Old French lac, from Latin lacus ‘basin, pool, lake’. A small lacus was a lacuna, which became laguna in Spanish and Italian, and became lagoon (early 17th century) in English.
