Word origin

The word 'indoors' originated from the combination of the prefix 'in-' meaning 'into' or 'within' and the word 'doors'. It has been used in English since the mid-18th century to refer to the interior of a building or the act of being inside. The concept of indoors has evolved over time with the development of architecture and living spaces, reflecting the importance of shelter and comfort in human life.
