Etymology

The word 'terrace' originated from the Latin word 'terra', meaning 'earth' or 'ground'. In ancient Rome, terraces were used for agriculture on hilly terrain. Over time, the term evolved to also refer to raised, flat areas next to buildings. Terraces have become popular features in modern architecture and landscaping, providing outdoor spaces for relaxation and socializing.
