Word origin
The word 'lodge' originated from Old French 'logis' meaning 'dwelling, shelter' and later evolved in Middle English to refer to a temporary dwelling or accommodation. Over time, 'lodge' also came to be associated with organizations or societies meeting in a specific building. The concept of a lodge as a gatekeeper's house or a branch of an organization remains prevalent in modern usage.
