Shanty
a rude, temporary habitation. The word is principally employed to designate the huts inhabited by navigators, when constructing large lines of railway far distant from towns. It is derived from the French chantier, used by the Canadians for a log hut, and has travelled from thence, by way of the United States, to England.
