the original open floor plan, footwear edition, ventilated since before history bothered keeping notes.
means A light, open shoe held to the foot by straps or thongs rather than enclosing it, leaving most of the foot exposed.
from From Greek 'sandalon,' a word for this kind of strapped footwear whose own roots are murky — possibly borrowed from an older non-Greek source. It traveled through Latin 'sandalium' before settling into English, the name as airy and well-ventilated as the shoe itself.
