Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology

The term combines 'penthouse', derived from Middle English 'pentis' (from Old French 'apentis' meaning appended building, altered by folk etymology associating it with 'house'), and 'suite', from French 'suivre' (to follow). Historically referring to an outlying or attached structure, it evolved in 20th-century American real estate and hospitality to denote a luxurious apartment or set of rooms on the top floor of a building.
