Etymology
Comes from Occitan salon and French salon, either an augmentative of salle (“room”), or borrowed from Italian salone (“hall”), itself an augmentative of sala, salla (“room”); either way, the word was borrowed from a Germanic source such as Old High German sal (“house, hall”), from Proto-Germanic *salą, from Proto-Indo-European *sel- (“dwelling”). It is a doublet of salon.
