Etymology

The word 'pavilion' comes from the Old French term 'pavillon', which itself originates from the Latin 'papilio', meaning 'butterfly'. This etymological roots reflect the idea of a light and airy structure, reminiscent of a butterfly's wings. Pavilions have been used throughout history as structures for leisure and entertainment. In medieval times, they were often associated with royal tents or mansions and were used in the context of celebrations and festivities. During the Renaissance, architectural styles evolved, and pavilions became more elaborate, often adorned with artistic features. They became a favored addition to gardens and estates, particularly in Europe, symbolizing elegance and sometimes serving as a focal point within landscaped areas.
