fogón

/foˈɡon/

noun, masculine/foˈɡon/plural: fogones

fireplace, hearth; stove, range; galley, cuddy, caboose; vent (as of a firearm); firebox, engine furnace

Synonyms: fogarín, fogaril, hogaril, hogar, llar, lar, infiernillo

Related to fuego, and possibly ultimately from a Vulgar Latin *focone, from focus, perhaps through Catalan fogó or through a Mozarabic intermediary, as it was attested relatively late and preserved the initial -f- as opposed to -h- (compare hogar, hoguera, hogaza, etc.). Cognate with Sicilian fucuni.
