SAUNA
What sauna means
A heated room or small building where people sit or lie down to relax and sweat, typically with very hot air or steam, often followed by a cool bath or shower.
Where the word comes from
Sauna comes from Finnish sauna, a word borrowed from the Sami languages of northern Scandinavia. The Sami peoples used steam baths for bathing and therapeutic purposes, and the term entered Finnish as the region's cultures made contact. Finnish speakers later adopted it into their own language, and it spread to Swedish, then to English and other European languages as knowledge of Finnish bathing traditions became known.
