Etymology

The French noun *piazza* is a late‑18th‑century loan from Italian *piazza*, meaning a public square. Italian *piazza* derives from Latin *platea* (broad street or open area), which in turn is linked to the Greek *plátia* (flat, wide). The term entered French usage mainly in the 1700s, especially in artistic and architectural contexts, and has remained a borrowed word rather than a native French formation.
