Word origin
The word 'hut' originated from the Old High German word 'hutta', meaning 'cottage' or 'hut'. It has been used in English since the late 17th century to refer to a small and simple building used as a shelter or dwelling. Over time, the word has evolved to also describe small, cramped living spaces. Huts have been used by various cultures throughout history as temporary or permanent shelters.
