#i wonder if furnus became ofen because of some language mix too after the roman conquest

[arikihalloween]

why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food?

Your question got me bugging for a good minute but then I got curious and went to google it

So now I can tell you an oven is called an oven because it comes from the old latin "furnus" which down the generations at some point became "ofen" and then the f became a v and it became "oven" and and oven refers specifically to a closed chamber with heat for cooking/baking/drying :D
