About This Root

From Old French espace, from Latin spatium (room, area, distance, stretch of time). Covers both physical and abstract expanses: space (area or outer space), spacious (having ample room), spaceship, aerospace, airspace, cyberspace. The Latin source also gives spatial and spatiotemporal, though those typically go through the spatium variant directly.
