Definition of undefined

The word "indoor" has its roots in the Old English language. It originated in the 14th century from the combination of "in" and "dor," which literally meant "in the door." In medieval times, the term "dor" referred to the entrance or threshold of a building, and "in" indicated location or position. So, "indoor" initially meant "within the boundaries of a door" or "inside a building." Over time, the meaning of the word expanded to encompass any space within a building that was sheltered from the outdoors, regardless of whether it was a room, a hall, or even a cave. Today, "indoor" is widely used to describe spaces that are protected from the elements, contrasting with "outdoor" spaces that are exposed to the environment.
