Etymology of CARNY

The word "carny" is derived from "carnival", which in turn traces back to the Late Latin word "carnelevamen" or "carnelevarium". "Carnelevamen" combines "carne" meaning "meat" and "levamen" meaning "removal" or "lifting". This reflects the historical context of carnevale, a festive period preceding the Christian season of Lent, characterized by feasting and indulgence before the abstinence of meat during Lent. Over time, "carnival" came to signify a festive gathering or fair. The term "carny" specifically emerged in the 19th century in the United States to refer to carnival workers or performers.
