From Italian corridore ("a runner, a long passage"), from correre ("to run"), ultimately from Latin currere ("to run") — originally denoting a covered passageway in a building, extended to ecology in the 20th century.
Memory Hook
Hear "CORRIDOR" as a place to "RUN" — share its Latin root currere ("to run") with current and courier; a corridor is literally a "running-way" you hurry down.
