"Little tail" literally and "Venetian single-oared boat" are English equivalents of the Italian word gondola. The feminine singular noun originates in the Greek word κοντούρα (kontoúra, "small tail") and most famously references the high-prowed, high-sterned, long, narrow, single-oared, small boat of Venice's canals. The pronunciation will be "GON-do-la" in Italian.
