Word origin
The word 'cottage' has origins in the Medieval Latin word 'cottagium', which referred to a small dwelling for agricultural workers. Cottages became popular in England during the Tudor period, with their distinctive thatched roofs and timber frames. Over time, cottages evolved from simple dwellings for laborers to charming vacation homes or primary residences in rural areas.
