n.

1902, from French garage “shelter for a vehicle,” originally “a place for storing something,” from verb garer “to shelter,” from Middle French garer “to shelter, dock ships,” from Frankish *waron “to guard” or some other Germanic source (cf. Old High German waron “take care”), from Proto-Germanic *war-, from PIE root *wer- “to cover” (see warrant (n.)).
