Etymology

The noun **porche** comes from Old French *porche* (12th c.), which was borrowed from the Latin *porcīcus* or *porticus*, a “covered colonnade or entrance.” The Latin term itself is a derivative of *portus* (door, gate), reflecting its original meaning of a covered gateway. Over time the word retained its sense of a large, roofed entrance in front of a building.
