The word "hut" originates from the Old French hutte (meaning "cottage" or "shed"), which likely derived from the Frankish hutta or Germanic hūd (related to "hide" or "covering"). Its simplicity reflects its function—a basic, often makeshift shelter. Over time, it retained its core meaning of a small, rudimentary dwelling across European languages.
