- hugh3 16y agoAnd if anyone else was wondering, as I just was, why it's called a hangar, apparently it's from a word for "shed" in some dialect of French. The word itself is probably Germanic in origin. And it has absolutely nothing to do with hanging, which makes sense because you don't hang things in a hangar anyway.
- ugh 16y agoIt’s from “Haim” and “gard”. “Haim” means basically house (and the word “Heim” for “Home” still exists in German) and “gard” means something like garden or protected area.
