Etymology
Passageway is made of two simple parts: passage, from a word meaning 'to pass' or move through, and way, which means 'road' or route. So a passageway is like a little 'road' for passing — a long, often narrow space that connects rooms or places, which is why we use it for hallways and secret corridors.
