The word dungeon, meaning âa dark usually underground prison,â comes from the French word donjon, which also gives us our English word donjon, meaning âan inner tower in a castle.â Dungeon was first used in English in the 14th century for the strong tower in the inner part of the castle.
The word dungeon comes from French donjon (also spelled dongeon), which means keep, the main tower of a castle. The first recorded instance of the word in English was near the beginning of the 14th century when it held the same meaning as donjon. The proper original meaning of keep is still in use for academics, although in popular culture it has been largely misused and come to mean a cell or oubliette.
