You can think of a garage as a covered place where a car is put away and kept safe — a shelter for a vehicle. From that one idea (a place a car goes) grow the parking spots, the repair and fuel stops, and even the verb 'to garage' a car.
From the word’s history
From French garer 'to shelter, to dock', so garage first meant 'a place to shelter a vehicle'. The idea of a protective cover for a car is the word's root.
源自法文 garer「遮蔽、停放」，所以 garage 最早就是「給車遮蔽的地方」。這個「替車遮蓋、收好」的意象，正是整個字的根。
