Concourse

/ˈkɑnkɔrs/ noun

Definition

A large open area in a building like an airport or train station where people gather, or a wide avenue or path.

Etymology

From Latin 'concursus' (a running together), from 'con-' (together) + 'currere' (to run). It entered English in the 14th century, first meaning a crowd of people, then the space where they gather.

Kelly Says

Grand Central Terminal's main concourse is one of the world's most iconic public spaces—designed to make millions of daily travelers feel both small and part of something vast. Modern architecture learned that the concourse itself is as important as the trains.
