The answer
EASEL
What easel means
A stand or frame, usually made of wood or metal, designed to hold and display a canvas, painting, drawing pad, or other artwork at an angle for viewing or working.
Where the word comes from
An easel comes from Dutch *ezel*, meaning "donkey." The word traveled through Middle Dutch and likely entered English in the 1500s through trade and artistic contact with the Low Countries. The connection is straightforward: just as a donkey carries a load, an easel holds and supports a canvas or artwork. Dutch *ezel* itself descends from Latin *asellus*, a diminutive of *asinus* ("ass" or "donkey").
