different between carmine vs lake

English

Etymology

From French carmin, from irregular Medieval Latin carminium, itself from Arabic ???????? (qirmiz, “crimson, kermes”) (from Sanskrit ????? (k?mija, “produced by worms”), from ???? (k??mi, “worm, insect”)), plus or with influence from Latin minium. Compare crimson and kermes.

Noun

carmine (countable and uncountable, plural carmines)

1. A purplish-red pigment, made from dye obtained from the cochineal beetle; carminic acid or any of its derivatives.
   • 1967, Time, "The Case of the Dubious Dye," 6 January, 1967, [1]

     Cases of cubana salmonellosis in three other states were traced to carmine red, and supplies were called in. […] But authorities have been checking other places for carmine red, knowing that it is a favorite coloring in candy, chewing gum, ice cream, cough syrups and drugs. Manufacturers like to use it because of a legal quirk: being a natural rather than a synthetic product, it does not have to be mentioned on labels.

2. A purplish-red colour, resembling that pigment.
   • 1854, Henry David Thoreau, Walden, New York: Thomas Y. Crowell & Co., 1910, Chapter XIV, p. 347, [2]

     He wore a great coat in midsummer, being affected with the trembling delirium, and his face was the color of carmine.

   • 1920, F. Scott Fitzgerald, This Side of Paradise, Chapter 5, [3]

     He pictured himself in an adobe house in Mexico, half-reclining on a rug-covered couch, his slender, artistic fingers closed on a cigarette while he listened to guitars strumming melancholy undertones to an age-old dirge of Castile and an olive-skinned, carmine-lipped girl caressed his hair.

   • 1987, Toni Morrison, Beloved, New York: Vintage, 2004, p. 33,

     The velvet I seen was brown, but in Boston they got all colors. Carmine. That means red but when you talk about velvet you got to say 'carmine.'

English

Pronunciation

• (UK, US) enPR: l?k, IPA^(key): /le?k/
• Rhymes: -e?k

Etymology 1

From Middle English lake (“lake, watercourse, body of water”), from Old English lacu (“lake, pond, pool, stream, watercourse”), from Proto-West Germanic *laku, from Proto-Germanic *lak? (“stream, pool, water aggregation”), from Proto-Indo-European *leg- (“to leak, drain”).

Despite their similarity in form and meaning, the word is not related to English lay (“lake”), Latin lacus (“hollow, lake, pond”), Scottish Gaelic loch (“lake”), Ancient Greek ?????? (lákkos, “waterhole, tank, pond, pit”), all from Proto-Indo-European *lókus (“lake, pool”).

Noun

lake (plural lakes)

1. (now chiefly dialectal) A small stream of running water; a channel for water; a drain.
2. A large, landlocked stretch of water.
3. A large amount of liquid; as, a wine lake.
   • 1991, Robert DeNiro (actor), Backdraft:

     So you punched out a window for ventilation. Was that before or after you noticed you were standing in a lake of gasoline?

4. (sciences) A temporary body of water.
5. (obsolete) A pit, or ditch

Usage notes

As with the names of rivers, mounts and mountains, the names of lakes are typically formed by adding the word before or after the unique term: Lake Titicaca or Great Slave Lake. Generally speaking, names formed using adjectives or attributives see lake added to the end, as with Reindeer Lake; lake is usually added before proper names, as with Lake Michigan. This derives from the earlier but now uncommon form lake of ~: for instance, the 19th-century Lake of Annecy is now usually simply Lake Annecy. It frequently occurs, however, that foreign placenames are misunderstood as proper nouns, as with the Chinese Taihu (“Great Lake”) and Qinghai (“Blue Sea”) being frequently rendered as Lake Tai and Qinghai Lake.
