Definition
Narrow routes or corridors that allow movement through a place, or sections of text from a book or speech.
Etymology
From Old French 'passage' meaning 'a passing through,' derived from 'passer' (to pass) from Latin 'passus.' The word entered English in the 13th century and has been used both literally and metaphorically ever since.
Kelly Says
The word 'passage' is brilliantly flexible—it describes a physical hallway, a journey through time ('rite of passage'), a text excerpt, and even a musical phrase. This flexibility shows how English words often expand their meanings from one core idea into multiple uses.
