大约1600年,“一种接近方式”(最初是军事术语),源自法语 avenue “通道”(16世纪),来自古法语 avenue “接近行动,到达”,是 avenu 的女性名词用法,该词是 avenir 的过去分词,意为“到达”,源自拉丁语 advenire “到达,到达,到达”,由 ad “到”(见 ad-)和 venire “来”(来自 PIE 根 *gwa- “去,来”)。
这个词的含义扩展到“通往乡间别墅的途径”,通常是一条由树木围绕的直路,因此,“宽阔的,树木成荫的道路”(1650年代),然后是“宽阔的,主要的街道”(到1846年,特别是在美国)。到19世纪末,在美国城市中,它被用来形成街道名称,而不涉及其性质。
