Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
Derived from the 16th-century Italian word 'pallacorda' via French 'paille-maille', originally referring to an alley where the game pall-mall was played. Over time, the name of the shaded promenade attached to the game transferred to other public walks, and by the mid-20th century in North America, it evolved to describe a large enclosed shopping center.
