Etymology
Greek σαλόνι entered the language in the 19th century from Italian salone, an augmentative of sala, meaning hall. The Greek suffix -ι was attached to adapt the loanword into the native neuter noun class. The same Italian and French forms gave English both salon and saloon, so the words are close relatives across several European languages.
