A chaise longue (pronounced [ʃɛzˈlɔ̃ɡ], French "long chair") is an upholstered couch in the shape of a chair that is long enough to support the legs. It is often also called "chaise lounge" or lounge chair in North America, particularly in the furniture industry. This mixed spelling and pronunciation has become well-established and can be found in American dictionaries, and is an example of a folk etymology.
A chaise, sometimes called chay or shay, was a formerly popular, light two- or four-wheeled traveling or pleasure carriage, usually of a chair-backed type, with a movable hood or calash top. The name came from the French for chair, through a transference from a sedan-chair to a wheeled vehicle.
noun. any of several kinds of lightweight carriage, some with a collapsible top, having two or four wheels and drawn by one or two horses; post chaise; chaise longue
