A combination of a gymnasium and an auditorium, usually in a small high school. It has a full court gym floor with bleachers on one side and a stage area in the opposite side (set into the wall).
We had to set up the chairs and bleachers in the gymatorium to get ready for the opening night of our school's play.
Our school's so small, we have our drama and basketball games in the same place, the gymatorium.
An ostentatious way to refer to a broad roundabout / public space which acts as a mixed use plaza-like convergence of several streets.
This term is a combination of the Latin rooted modern British noun 'gyratory' used to denote a large or complex circular traffic junction, and the archaic Latin noun 'platēa' which refers to a broad street / open city space or courtyard– root of the modern Spanish 'plaza'.
Hence a less archaic and simpler way to infer similar meaning could be 'large circular plaza'.
At the city's heart lay a grand gyratory platēa, a focal point of its commerce and convergence of its bustling thoroughfares.
