Word origin
The word 'avenue' originated from the French word 'avenu' which means 'a way to approach or access'. It was first used in English in the late 16th century to refer to a tree-lined street. Over time, it evolved to represent a wide road in a city or town. Avenues have historically been associated with elegance and grandeur, often lined with trees and prestigious buildings.
