SALOON

This article appears in Volume V24, Page 87 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: SAC-SAR
SALOON , a large room for the reception of guests in a
mansion
 . The French salon itself is formed from salle, Ger. Saal,
hall
 , reception-room, represented in Old
English
  by the cognate swl,
hall
 , properly " abiding-place," from the root seen in
Gothic
  sa!jan, to dwell, cf. Russ. selo,
village
 . The word in its proper sense has now a somewhat archaistic flavour, being chiefly used of the 18th century, and it has come principally to be used (1) of the large rooms on passenger steamers; (2) on
English
  railways of carriages for the
accommodation
  of large parties not divided into compartments, and in the United States of the so-called " drawing-room cars "; and (3) of a bar or place for the sale of intoxicants.
