∙ 12y agoHundreds of years ago, cars used to be only for the richest people. So, they made parkways look like parks. That's where we got the term "parkway". Why we park in a driveway, I have no idea.

∙ 9y agoThe English term "driveway" is primarily the path from the road or street to an individual home, often to an enclosed garage (so you can drive on it as well as park on it).
Conversely, the term "parkway" is a road, not a place to park, because it is based on the meaning of "park" to indicate trees and other greenery (found along or between the sides of the road).
