Definition
A desk positioned in front; a reception or service counter located at the entrance of an establishment.
Etymology
From 'fore-' + 'desk' from Dutch 'disck' and Latin 'discus' (disk, table). The prefix indicates position at the front.
Kelly Says
The term 'foredesk' evolved naturally as hotels and offices needed a word for that first desk you encounter—interestingly, different languages created surprisingly different solutions to naming this same concept.
