BOOTH (connected with a Teutonic root meaning to dwell, whence also " bower ")

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 240 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BOOTH (connected with a Teutonic root meaning to dwell, whence also " bower ") , primarily a temporary dwelling of boughs or other slight materials. Later the word gained the
special
  meaning of a market stall or any non-permanent erection, such as a tent at a
fair
 , where goods were on sale. Later still it was applied to the temporary structure where votes were registered, viz. polling-
booth
 . Temporary booths erected for the weekly markets naturally tended to become permanent shops. Thus Stow states that the houses in Old Fish
Street
 , London, " were at first but movable boards set out on market days to show their fish there to be sold; but procuring
licence
  to set up sheds, they
grew
  to shops, and by little and little, to tall houses." As bothy or bothie, in
Scotland
 , meaning generally a hut or cottage, the word was specially applied to a barrack-like room on large farms where the unmarried labourers were lodged. This, known as the Bothy
system
 , was formerly common in Aberdeenshire and other parts of northern
Scotland
 .
