What attic means

A room or space located directly below the roof of a building, typically used for storage or living quarters.

Where the word comes from

From Greek *attikos*, meaning "of Attica," the region surrounding Athens. The Romans called the top story of a building an *attic* story because it featured a small decorative order of columns characteristic of Athenian architecture. Over time, "attic" came to mean any room or space directly beneath the roof of a building.
