Etymology
The word 'cote' has its roots in Middle English, derived from the Old French term 'cote', which meant a small house or shelter. It is related to the Latin 'cลซta', which translates to a hut or cottage. The use of 'cote' in English to describe animal shelters, especially for pigeons or doves, became common in the late Middle Ages. Originally, the term referred more broadly to any type of small dwelling, but over time it became more specifically associated with avian housing. This evolution reflects a linguistic journey that highlights the importance of birds in agrarian societies, as well as the construction of simple, functional shelters for domestic animals.
