kennel: [14] Appropriately enough for a word for ‘dog-house’, kennel comes ultimately from Latin canis ‘dog’ (a relative of English hound). Canis was the basis of a Vulgar Latin derivative *canīle, which passed into English via Anglo- Norman *kenil. Other English derivatives of Latin canis include canary, canine [17], and chenille ‘fabric made from soft yarn’ [18], a borrowing from French chenille, literally ‘hairy caterpillar’, which came from a diminutive form of canis. => canary, canine, chenille, hound
kennel (n.)
c. 1300, from Anglo-French *kenil, Old French chenil, from Vulgar Latin *canile, from Latin canem (nominative canis) "dog" (see canine (n.)). With suffix as in ovile "sheepfold" from ovus, equile "horse-stable" from equus, etc. As a verb, 1550s, from the noun.
