1. 1畫室;藝術家/設計師的工作室

    An atelier is a room, or sometimes a small building, where an artist works — a painter, a sculptor, a fashion designer, a craftsperson. English borrowed the word from French and barely changed it, so it still sounds a little French and a little specialist: you meet it in art, design, and fashion more than in ordinary talk about “where I work.” A photographer or a band is more likely to say studio; an atelier is the making-place, not the gallery where finished work hangs on the wall. People do stretch it: a small clothes brand may call its workshop an atelier because that sounds closer to art than to a factory. Though actually, the older French picture is more workshop than temple — a place of pieces and making.

組成Borrowed as-is from French atelier. That French word comes from older astelier, built from astelle — a small piece of wood, like a splint for a broken bone — plus -ier, an ending for a place where someone lives or works. So the first picture is a workshop; later it settled on an artist’s workroom. (Latin arena is a similar kind of naming story, a place tied to what you found there — not a family word.)
