Etymology

The word 'pergola' originates from the Latin word 'pergula', which referred to a projecting eave or roof. The term can be traced back further to the Proto-Indo-European root '*per-', meaning 'to lead' or 'to pass over.' The concept of pergolas dates back to ancient Rome and Greece, where they were used in gardens and villas as structures for supporting climbing plants and creating shaded walkways. These structures became popular throughout Europe during the Renaissance period, where gardens were designed to include areas of leisure and contemplation under shaded canopies. The decorative and functional elements of pergolas have evolved over time, and they remain a cherished component of landscape architecture in modern gardens.
