_____________________________________________________
A hearth or small cooking place with a chimney stack projecting from the kitchen end of a cottage. Often illuminated by a small window. The name is possibly derived from the German kamin or more probably from the Portuguese chaminc, meaning a fireplace. See also abba-vuurherd.
(Walton, 1995: 126)
