Etymology

The word 'shantied' is derived from 'shanty,' which dates back to the mid-19th century. The origin of 'shanty' is uncertain, though it is believed to have been influenced by several linguistic sources. One theory is that it comes from the French word 'chantier,' meaning 'a place for work' or 'a lumber camp.' This aligns with how shanties were often built near industrial or logging operations by workers seeking temporary shelter. Over time, 'shanty' evolved to describe not just worker shelters, but also any makeshift dwelling. 'Shantied' thus became an adjective to describe living in or associated with such structures. The usage of the term has continued to grow, particularly in discussions about urban poverty and informal housing.
