Origin and Evolution of pergola

First Known Use: 1654 year

Language of Origin: Latin

Story behind the word: The word 'pergola' originated from the Latin word 'pergula', which means a projecting eave or a vine-covered structure.

Evolution of the word: Originally used to refer to a projecting roof or a structure supporting plants, the term 'pergola' evolved to specifically describe a structure consisting of vertical posts or pillars supporting cross-beams and a sturdy open lattice, often covered with climbing plants. Over time, pergolas have become popular as decorative garden features or outdoor seating areas.
