The word studio originates from Latin studium, meaning "study" or "eagerness." In Italian, studio evolved to mean a workspace for artists or scholars. By the 19th century, it expanded to include spaces for creative production (e.g., film, music). The suffix -io solidifies its function as a noun denoting a physical location.
