==Etymology==
French hutte, from Old French hute, from Old High German hutta hut; probably akin to [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=English#ca._600-1100.09THE_OLD_ENGLISH.2C_OR_ANGLO-SAXON_PERIOD Old English] hȳd skin, hide
*Date: [http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/17th_Century 1655]
==Definitions==
*1 : an often small and temporary dwelling of simple construction : shack
*2 : a simple [[shelter]] from the elements
==Description==
A '''hut''' is a small and crude [[shelter]], usually used for dwelling. Its [[design]] favors local [[techniques]] and [[materials]] to allow for swift and inexpensive construction.
==Modern use==
Huts are used as temporary [[shelter]] by people. Huts are quickly built of [[natural]] materials such as ice, stone, leather, fur, grass, palm leaves, branches and/or mud and exist in [[practically]] all [[nomadic]] [[cultures]]. Some huts are easily transportable.
Huts are used by [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shepherd shepherds] when moving livestock between [[seasonal]] grazing areas such as [[mountain]]ous and lowland pastures (transhumance). Some displaced [[populations]] of people use huts throughout the world during a diaspora. For example; temporary collectors in the [[wilderness]] [[agricultural]] workers at plantations in the Amazon jungle. Huts have been built for [[purposes]] such as storage, workshops, and [[teaching]].
The term has also been [[adopted]] by climbers and backpackers to refer to a more solid and permanent [[structure]] offering refuge. These vary from simple [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bothy bothies] - which are little more than very basic [[shelters]]; to [[mountain]] huts which are far more luxurious and can even include facilities such as restaurants.
