Etymology

The word 'cottager' comes from the Old French word 'cotage' which means a small house, and from the Latin 'cotagium'. Initially, these small homes were associated with the peasant class living in rural areas. The term evolved over time to describe not just permanent residents but also seasonal visitors who would occupy cottages, especially in areas popular for recreation. By the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the term began to encompass the idea of retreating to the countryside for leisure, influenced by the rise of the holiday cottage movement. Today, the word retains its connection to simple, often rustic living, reflecting a lifestyle choice that prioritizes nature and simplicity over urban complexity.
