DEF

... a wooden receptacle in natural wood of round cross section with bulging walls, constructed with staves, heads and hoops.

OBS

Whereas "barrel" is a generic term designating containers for various kinds of products, the term "cask" designates specifically barrels for liquids. Therefore, "barrel" and "cask" are not true synonyms.

DEF

Alors qu'un tonneau peut, en général, contenir des produits solides, tels que noix, pommes, etc., ou en poudre, l'usage veut que l'on réserve le terme «fût» pour désigner les récipients spécifiquement destinés à contenir des liquides. Ces deux termes ne sont donc pas parfaitement synonymes.
