A carousel (sometimes spelled carrousel) is "a merry-go-round in an amusement park" or a device that imitates it, such as "a baggage carousel at an airport" or "a slide carousel for holding photographic slides to be projected on a screen." 



It is pronounced KER-uh-sel or -zel, and sometimes its final syllable receives secondary or even primary stress.
