Etymology

The term 'playhouse' originated in the late Middle English period, combining 'play' and 'house'. Initially, it referred to a building used for theatrical performances. Over time, the term also came to be associated with children's toy houses where imaginative play takes place. Today, 'playhouse' continues to evoke both theatrical settings and childhood fun.
