hangar

the word 'hangar' entered english in the mid-19th century from french, where it originally meant a 'shed' or 'covered shelter'. the french term is believed to have originated from medieval latin angarium, referring to a 'shed in which horses are shod', which itself may have roots in a frankish word. the semantic shift from a shelter for horses or carts to a specialized building for aircraft perfectly illustrates how language adapts old terms for new technologies. its adoption into english coincided with the dawn of aviation, solidifying its specific modern meaning.

this word is a loanword adopted as a single, unanalyzable unit in english.
