Word origin
The word 'mall' originated from the Latin word 'malla', meaning 'public meeting place'. It was first used in English to refer to an alley used for ball games in the 1730s. The modern meaning of a shopping center developed in the mid-20th century, as large indoor shopping complexes became popular in urban areas.
