The word "vestibule" originally comes from the Latin word "vestibulum," which translates to "little vestibule" or "small entrance hall." In ancient Roman architecture, a vestibulum referred to a small room or space located at the entrance of a building, which served as a transition zone between the outside world and the interior of the structure. The vestibulum was designed to protect the main doors and walls from weather conditions, and it also provided additional space for people to remove their outer garments before entering the main room. In English, the word "vestibule" has been adopted to denote similar spaces found in modern buildings, such as lobbies, foyers, or entries.
