Word origin

The word 'lounge' originated in the late 16th century from the Old French word 'longe' which means 'a long gallery or room'. It later evolved to refer to a room for relaxing or socializing. In the 19th century, the concept of a lounge as a public waiting area in hotels, airports, and clubs became popular.
