[[File:Terme di diocleziano, tombe a capanna, 01.JPG|thumb|3 model huts and a larger building in the form of burial urns at the museum at the Baths of Diocletian in Rome, Italy.]] A '''hut''' is a simple [[shelter]] that is built by [[human|humans]]. A hut is small, and most of the time, it is less well-built than a [[house]], but is more complex than a [[tent]]. Some [[indigenous peoples]] use huts as their [[permanent]] place of safety. A hut can be built out of many things, such as wood, grass, or fabric.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Eiger|first=Richard W.|date=2009-10-22|title=John Simpson (ed.): Oxford English Dictionary, Second Edition on CD-ROM Version 4.0|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s12109-009-9131-1|journal=Publishing Research Quarterly|volume=25|issue=4|pages=280–281|doi=10.1007/s12109-009-9131-1|s2cid=142695426 |issn=1053-8801}}</ref> ==The word ''hut''== The word is, many times, used by people who think homes that are uncommon in their country are [[wikt:primitive|primitive]]. Sometimes, the word ''house'' is used to avoid this. Often, how the hut looks is based off of [[tradition]]. The [[design]] of the hut in [[tropical]] and sub-tropical areas is meant to allow air to come inside, reducing the heat inside of the hut. Also, instead of being called a [[shed]], something can be called a hut. The word has also been used to speak about structures that shelter [[climbing|climbers]] and [[Backpacking (wilderness)|backpackers]]. The word comes from the 1650s, from French ''hutte''.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Etymonline - Online Etymology Dictionary|url=https://www.etymonline.com/|access-date=2023-03-18|website=www.etymonline.com}}</ref> ==Modern use== Huts are used by shepherds when they are moving animals from one grassland to another. They are also used by people who are traveling in rural areas. Some populations use huts during a [[diaspora]], such as those on farms in the [[Amazon rainforest|Amazon]] jungle.<ref>{{Cite news|last=Adam|first=David|date=2009-05-31|title=Amazon rainforests pay the price as dem
