the.com/hall

a room that's basically a verb: a space defined by going somewhere else

means A large room or building for gatherings and events, or a passage and entrance area connecting the rooms of a house.

from From Old English 'heall,' the great roofed space at the heart of a chieftain's dwelling — the mead-hall where warriors feasted, boasted, and slept. It traces back to a Germanic root meaning 'to cover' or 'conceal' (a cousin of words like 'hell' and 'helmet,' all sharing that idea of something covered over), so a hall was first and foremost a covered place. Over centuries the grand feasting room shrank into the humble corridor we now pass through on our way to somewhere better.
