What foyer means
The entrance hall or lobby of a building, such as a theater, hotel, or apartment building, where people enter and gather before moving into main areas.
Where the word comes from
From French *foyer*, originally meaning "hearth" or "fireplace," from Latin *focarium*, derived from *focus* meaning "fire" or "hearth." The room sense developed because the foyer was traditionally the entrance hall where a fire was kept warm. The word entered English in the 18th century as theaters and large buildings adopted the French term for their entrance halls.
