This article appears in Volume V11, Page 346 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FUNNEL (through an O. Fr. founil, found in Breton, from Lat. infundibulum, that through which anything is poured, from fundere, to pour) , a
vessel
  shaped like a
cone
  having a small tube at the
apex
  through which powder, liquid, &c., may be easily passed into another
vessel
  with a small opening. The
term
  is used in metal-casting of the hole through which the metal is poured into a mould, and in anatomy and
zoology
  of an infundibulum or funnel-shaped organ. The word is thus used generally of any
shaft
  or passage to convey light, air or smoke, as of the chimney of an
engine
  or a steam-boat, or the flue of an
ordinary
  chimney. It is also used of a
shaft
  or channel in rocks, and in the decoying of wild-fowl is applied to the
cone
 -shaped passage leading from a
pond
  and covered with a net, a " funnel-net," into which the birds are decoyed.
