| Abstract | WITH the proliferation of high-rise and low-rise dwelling units, especially in the city, the terms "flat", "apartment" and "condominium" have achieved household status. Unfortunately, marketing ploys and the desire for goods of snob appeal have corrupted the actual meanings of these words. A flat is commonly held to be a unit in a building which has a small built-up area, poor finish and is generally utilitarian. The word originates from Scottish dialect - a flet meant the floor of a dwelling- place. It was carried forward to Old and Middle English and has now evolved into "flat". |
