What floor means

The surface you walk on inside a building, or one of the levels in a multi-story structure.

Where the word comes from

From Old English *flōr*, meaning the ground or foundation of a building. This came from Proto-Germanic *flōraz*, which may be related to Old Norse *flōr* (floor) and ultimately traces back to an Indo-European root meaning "flat" or "broad." The sense of a story or level in a building developed in Middle English as the word came to mean any flat surface within a structure.
