hangar

hangar
hangar 1852, "shed for carriages," from Fr. hangar "shed," probably from M.Fr. hanghart (14c.), perhaps an alteration of M.Du. *ham-gaerd "enclosure near a house" [Barnhart], or from M.L. angarium "shed in which horses are shod" [Gamillscheg, Klein]. Sense of "covered shed for airplanes" first recorded in English 1902, from French use in that sense.
