Mall

English term "mall" is derived from the French term "maille",

or long stalk mallet used to strike

Croquet in the ball game. Then, what the relationship between

hammer and shopping?

In ancient times, in Italy, England and France have a game

Croquet is a kind called "palle maille", meaning the ball and

mallet. This game is played on the quiet street or alley

that does not pass a vehicle. People began to call street

to play as a "pall Malls." The employers realize

that the players might be buying something to drink

after they play, so that the entrepreneur is decided

to open a store along the edge "pall Malls." Finally

more and more shops are joining because they hope

get buyers who come from the audience see the

the game is.

After some time, no longer play the game

, but a shady place to play it, which is called

"Malls", still filled by various shops, and those

still happy to walk from one store to another store.
