Hut (dwelling)
The word is, many times, used by people who think homes that are uncommon in their country are primitive. Sometimes, the word house is used to avoid this. Often, how the hut looks is based off of tradition. The design of the hut in tropical and sub-tropical areas is meant to allow air to come inside, reducing the heat inside of the hut.  Also, instead of being called a shed, something can be called a hut. The word has also been used to speak about structures that shelter climbers and backpackers. The word comes from the 1650s, from French hutte.
