Definition
Plural of funicular; cable-drawn inclined railways, or relating to rope-like anatomical structures.
Etymology
Plural of funicular, ultimately from Latin funiculus. These specialized railways became particularly famous in cities like San Francisco, Hong Kong, and Switzerland for moving people and goods up steep slopes.
Kelly Says
San Francisco's cable cars are technically a type of funicular system—they've been climbing those famous hills since 1873, proving that a century-old rope-and-cable technology can still be both practical and romantic.
