==Etymology== The word ''cottage'' ([[Medieval Latin]] ''cotagium'') derives from [[Old English]] ''cot, cote'' "hut" and [[Old French]] ''cot'' "hut, cottage", from [[Old Norse]] ''kot'' "hut" and related to [[Middle Low German]] ''kotten'' (cottage, hut). Examples of this may be found in 15th century [[Manorial roll|manor court rolls]].{{citation needed|date=November 2020}} The house of the cottage bore the Latin name: "''domus''",<ref>as in ''domum dicti cotagii'' "the house of the said cottage" (the "-um" being the [[accusative]] form)</ref> while the barn of the cottage was termed "''grangia''".
