passageways
Halls connecting rooms
Passageways are narrow corridors or channels that allow passage from one place to another.
The word typically describes indoor routes like hallways in buildings, tunnels, or covered walkways, though it can also refer to any confined path that connects two spaces.
Secret passageways honeycombed the old mansion.
The term emphasizes the functional nature of the space—it exists primarily to move through rather than to occupy.
