覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
これは単語ごとに分けるより、待ち合わせの定番フレーズとして丸ごと覚えるのが近道です。ポイントは meet と in front of the station。meet は「会う」、front は「前面」なので、in front of で「〜の前に」という場所表現が自然に出せます。駅なら the station と具体的に言うのが普通。near the station だと「駅の近く」で広すぎ、before the station では時間の before に引っぱられやすいので注意。Let's meet in front of ... をひとまとまりで口に出して覚えると応用しやすいです。
It is easier to remember this as a full meeting phrase than word by word. `In front of` is a useful location pattern, and `the station` is a very common place to attach to it. Compare it with `near the station`, which sounds less exact for meeting someone.

let's meet in front of the station の語源・成り立ち Etymology
これは単語ではなく文ですが、中心は front と station です。front は古フランス語 front、さらにラテン語 frons「額・前面」、station はラテン語 statio「立つ場所」から来ており、in front of the station で「駅の前で」、let's meet で「会おう」となります。
This phrase is centered on front and station. Front came through Old French from Latin frons, meaning the forehead or front part, so it kept the sense of what faces forward. Station comes from Latin statio, meaning a standing place, from stare, "to stand," and later became the word for a fixed stopping place such as a train station.
