Definition
a home or institution where orphaned or abandoned children are cared for and raised.
Etymology
From 'orphan' (Greek 'orphanos' meaning bereaved) plus '-age' (a suffix forming nouns indicating place, practice, or condition). Became a common term during periods of high childhood mortality.
Kelly Says
Orphanages became widespread during industrialization when disease and poverty created thousands of parentless children, but the institution itself is ancient—Greeks and Romans had them too.
