A hallway is a long, narrow space inside a building that connects rooms or areas. People use hallways to move from one place to another indoors.
From “hall,” an old word for a large main room, plus “way,” meaning path. It originally referred to a passage leading to or from the main hall.
Hallways are like the veins of a building—narrow pathways that keep people flowing between its “organs.” The word literally just says “hall-path,” a route tied to the building’s main room.
