The origin of the word ‘roost‘ is from the Old English word hrost, which meant ‘a perch or resting place for birds.‘ It is also related to the Middle High German word rost, which meant ‘gridiron‘ or ‘grill,‘ and the Middle Dutch word roest, which meant ‘gridiron.‘ The modern sense of ‘roost‘ as a place where birds perch or rest for the night has derived from this earlier meaning.
