== English == === Etymology === Borrowed from French garage (“keeping under cover, protection, shelter”), derivative of French garer (“to keep under cover, dock, shunt, guard, keep”), from Middle French garer, garrer, guerrer; partly from Old French garir, warir (from Old Frankish *warjan); and partly from Old French varer (“to fight, defend oneself, protect”), from Old Norse varask (“to defend oneself”), reflexive of vara (“to ware, watch out, defend”); both ultimately from Proto-Germanic *warjaną (“to defend, ward off”), *warōną (“to watch, protect”), from Proto-Indo-European *wer- (“to close, cover, protect, save, defend”). === Pronunciation === (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈɡæ.ɹɪdʒ/, /ˈɡæ.ɹɑːʒ/, /ˈɡæ.ɹɑːdʒ/, /ɡ(ə)ˈɹɑ(d)ʒ/ (US) IPA(key): /ɡəˈɹɑʒ/, /ɡəˈɹɑdʒ/, /ɡˈɹɑʒ/, /ɡˈɹɑdʒ/ (General Australian) IPA(key): /ˈɡæ.ɹɑː(d)ʒ/, /ɡ(ə)ˈɹɑ(d)ʒ/ (Canada) IPA(key): /ˈɡæ.ɹɪdʒ/, /ɡ(ə)ˈɹɑ(d)ʒ/ (Canada, Ottawa Valley) IPA(key): /ɡ(ə)ˈɹæ(d)ʒ/ (New Zealand) IPA(key): /ˈɡæ.ɹɑː(d)ʒ/, /ˈɡæ.ɹɪdʒ/ (General South African, India) IPA(key): /ˈɡæ.ɹɑː(d)ʒ/ Hyphenation: ga‧rage Rhymes: -ɑːdʒ, -ɑːʒ, -æɹɪdʒ === Noun === garage (countable and uncountable, plural garages) A building (or section of a building) used to store a car or cars, tools and other miscellaneous items.

Since the mid-late 20th century, storage has become uncommon at premises having the other functions. Now, refueling, servicing, and repair are becoming increasingly separated from each other. Few repair garages still sell petrol; it is very uncommon for a new filling station to have a mechanic or any facilities for servicing beyond inflating tires; and a new kind of business exists to provide servicing: the oil/lube change shop. ==== Derived terms ==== ==== Descendants ==== ==== Translations ==== === Verb === garage (third-person singular simple present garages, present participle garaging, simple past and past participle garaged) To store in a garage. ==== Translations ==== == Danish == === Etymology === Borrowed from French garage. === Noun === garage c (singular definite garagen, plural indefinite garager) garage (building (or section of a building) used to store a car, tools and other miscellaneous items.) == Dutch == === Etymology === Borrowed from French garage. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˌɣaːˈraː.ʒə/ Hyphenation: ga‧ra‧ge Rhymes: -aːʒə === Noun === garage m (plural garages, no diminutive) a garage (repair shop for motorised vehicles) a garage (building or room for storing and modifying motorised vehicles) ==== Derived terms ==== autogarage garagedeur garagehouder parkeergarage ==== Descendants ==== → Caribbean Hindustani: garás → Indonesian: garasi == French == === Etymology === From garer +‎ -age.
