Etymology
The word 'alley' originated from Middle English 'alei', from Old French 'alai' (later 'allรฉe'), meaning 'a walking or passage', ultimately derived from Latin 'ambulare' meaning 'to walk'. Over time, the term evolved to refer to narrow streets or passages, both in urban and recreational settings.
