cabaña

/kaˈbaɲa/ · B1 · noun · f

cabin

cabaña — cabin

🛖🐄 cabaña = cabin: both come from Late Latin capanna, a hut

English cabin and Spanish cabaña share one root, so the hut meaning comes free. The livestock sense grew from the herdsmen's huts: a ranch's cabaña came to mean the animals kept there, as in cabaña ganadera, the national herd.
