proscenium

proscenium
proscenium c.1600, "stage of an ancient theater," from L. proscaenium, from Gk. proskenion "the space in front of the scenery," also "entrance of a tent," from pro "in front" (see PRO- (Cf. pro-)) + skene "stage, tent, booth" (see SCENE (Cf. scene)). Modern sense of "space between the curtain and the orchestra" is attested from 1807.
