- /ˌsæməˈvɑː(ɹ)/
Where it comes from
From Russian самова́р (samovár, “self-boiler”); from само́ (samó, “self”) + вари́ть (varítʹ, “boil, cook”).
noun samovars
- A metal urn with a spigot, for boiling water for making tea. Traditionally, the water is heated by hot coals or charcoal in a chimney-like tube which runs through the center of the urn. Today, it is more likely that the water is heated by an electric coil. The samovar was beginning to sing; the laborers and the family, having disposed of the horses, came in to dinner.
