TERRACE Meaning and
Definition
-
A terrace refers to a leveled or raised platform, usually paved and situated outside a building or house, often accessed by steps or a slope. It is designed for outdoor living and typically overlooks a garden, courtyard, or scenic view. Terraces can vary in size and shape, ranging from small intimate spaces to large expansive areas.
Typically found in urban and suburban environments, terraces serve as an extension of the living space within a residential or commercial structure. They provide an ideal setting for relaxation, entertaining guests, gardening, and enjoying outdoor activities. Moreover, they can offer a unique escape from the bustling city streets, often providing a sense of tranquility and solace.
Terraces are commonly adorned with outdoor furniture, such as tables, chairs, loungers, and sometimes even hammocks. Additionally, plants in pots or ornamental containers frequently add vibrant colors and a touch of nature to these spaces. Privacy screens or planters may also be incorporated to separate the area from neighboring properties or maintain visual appeal.
In larger buildings, some terraces may exist on different levels, providing distinct views and atmospheres. Some structures may even include rooftop terraces, further capitalizing on unused space and offering breathtaking panoramic vistas.
Overall, terraces are versatile spaces that enhance the livability and aesthetic value of a property. They encourage outdoor living, socialization, and connection with the surrounding environment, making them an appealing feature in both residential and commercial settings.

Etymology of TERRACE
The word "terrace" originated from the Latin term "terrae", which means "earth" or "land". It later transformed into the Old French word "terrasse" before becoming "terrace" in English.

Over time, the meaning of "terrace" expanded to include a raised flat area of ground, often with a wall or barrier, found in gardens, houses, or outdoor areas for recreational purposes.
