CABIN

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 917 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BUN-CAL
CABIN , a small, roughly built hut or shelter; the
term
  is particularly applied to the thatched mud cottages of the negro slaves of the southern states of the Unites States of America, or of the poverty-stricken peasantry of Ireland or the crofter districts of
Scotland
 . In a
special
  sense it is used of the small rooms or compartments on board a vessel used for sleeping, eating or other
accommodation
 . The word in its earlier
English
  forms was cabane or caban, and thus seems to be an adaptation of the French cabane; the French have taken cabine, for the room on board a ship, from the
English
 . In French and other Romanic languages, in which the word occurs, e.g. Spanish cabana, Portuguese cabana, the origin is usually found in the Medieval Latin capanna. Isidore of
Seville
  (Origines, lib. xiv. 12) says:Tugurium (hut) parva casula est, quam faciunt sibi custodes vinearum, ad tegimen seu quasi tegurium. Hoc rustici Capannam vocant, quod unum tantum capiat (see Du Cange, Glossarium, s.v. Capanna). Others derive from Greek K&irf, crib, manger. Skeat considers the English word was taken from the Welsh caban, rather than from the French, and that the
original
  source for all the forms was Celtic.
