Etymology of VAULTS

The word "vaults" has a Latin origin. It derives from the Latin word "volvō", meaning "to roll" or "to turn". In Latin, "volvō" developed into the noun "volūta", signifying a winding scroll or roll of parchment. This term was later adapted into Old French as "vout", which referred to an arched ceiling or a curved roof. Finally, it entered Middle English as "vault", retaining its meaning of an arched structure or a chamber with a curved ceiling. Over time, the plural form "vaults" developed as a way to denote multiple such structures.
