cobertizo — shed

🛖 cobertizo = cubrir (to cover) + -izo: a place that is just a cover

Comes from Spanish cubierto/cobertor, 'covered', from cubrir (to cover). A cobertizo is basically a roofed cover against rain. The ending sounds like 'tee-tho', so link 'cover-tee-tho' with a simple covered shelter.
