Word origin

The word 'cabin' originated in late Middle English from the Old French word 'cabane', which referred to a small shelter or hut. In the 16th century, it evolved to include the meaning of a private room on a ship. The usage of 'cabin' expanded further to include the idea of a simple dwelling or shelter in a remote or wooded area. Today, 'cabin' is commonly associated with cozy retreats in nature or private rooms on ships.
