/ˌprɒməˈnɑːd//ˌprɑːməˈneɪd/

The word "promenade" originated in the 16th century from the French language. In French, "promener" means "to walk" or "to stroll". The term "promenade" referred to a leisurely walk or stroll, often taken for pleasure or recreation. This practice of taking a leisurely walk was popularized during the 17th and 18th centuries in Europe, particularly among the upper class. During this time, promenades were a way for people to showcase their fashion, social status, and culture. The promenade became a popular activity in parks, gardens, and other public spaces, where people would take a leisurely walk, engage in conversation, and enjoy the scenery. Over time, the term "promenade" evolved to refer not only to the act of walking but also to specific paths or areas designed for leisurely strolls, such as promenade paths in parks or along coastal areas. Today, the word "promenade" is still used to describe a leisurely walk or stroll, as well as a designated path or area for recreational walking.
