About

The word 走廊 is formed by combining the character 走 (zǒu), meaning "to walk", with 廊 (láng), meaning "veranda" or "covered pathway". It conceptually merges the action of walking with the physical structure of a long, covered space, pictorially evoking the idea of a sheltered passageway designed for traversing from one place to another, hence, a "corridor" or "hallway".
