Word origin
The word 'parking' originates from the verb 'park', which comes from Middle English 'parken', meaning 'to enclose (land) for a park or pasture'. The concept of designated areas for vehicles to stop and remain temporarily emerged with the rise of automobiles in the 20th century, leading to the term 'parking' becoming commonly used in the context of vehicle storage.
