Etymology

The word 'corridor' originated from the French word 'corridore', which came from the Italian 'corridoio', ultimately derived from the Latin word 'corrida', meaning 'to run'. Originally, a corridor referred to a running place or racecourse. Over time, the meaning evolved to describe a passageway in a building. Corridors have been an essential architectural feature in buildings for centuries, providing pathways for movement and access to different rooms and spaces.
