Word origin
The word 'hearth' originated from Old English 'heorรพ', meaning a part of the floor of a house which is exposed to heat and light from a fire. The hearth has historically been a symbol of warmth, comfort, and family, as it was the center of the home where food was cooked and families gathered. Over time, the concept of hearth has evolved to represent not just the physical fireplace, but also the emotional center of a household.
