Question on Italian word

[eimarra]

For a proofreading job I'm working on, a travel book for Italy, with many architectural and art terms. Can someone confirm or deny that caldarium in Italian has an extra i (calidarium)?

Oddly, on-line translation dictionaries don't seem to have such words.

Many, many thanks!

My Italian being some 20+ years rusty. But that looks more like a Latin word than Italian. Italian words tend to end in vowels, and are gendered. the -ium suffix, doesn't feel right to me. Of course, there's dozens of italian dialects. So I could just be plain wrong.

Well, yeah. A caldarium is the steam room in the baths. I just wasn't sure whether the Italians pronounced and spelled it with an extra vowel in there.

I had no idea how to spell it, but I knew what it was. :) Unfortunately, I've packed all my history books, so I can't confirm the spelling for you...

I'm pretty sure caldarium is correct and that the other has an extra i in it. "Caldo" means hot in Spanish. To double check me, look up hot in Italian.
