词源同mallet,锤子。来自18世纪伦敦街道名The Mall,槌球街，来自于当时流行的一种槌球游戏pall-mall,铁圈球运动。因这条街由槌球场改造而成，后作为游人休闲散步的林荫道。后用于指现代城市的步行街或大型购物中心。

英文词源

mall
mall: see mallet
mall (n.)
1737, "shaded walk serving as a promenade," generalized from The Mall, name of a broad, tree-lined promenade in St. James's Park, London (so called from 1670s, earlier Maill, 1640s), which was so called because it formerly was an open alley that was used to play pall-mall, a croquet-like game involving hitting a ball with a mallet through a ring, from French pallemaille, from Italian pallamaglio, from palla "ball" (see balloon) + maglio "mallet" (see mallet). Modern sense of "enclosed shopping gallery" is from 1962 (from 1951 in reference to city streets set aside for pedestrians only). Mall rat is from 1985.
