With its origins in India, 'bungalow' applies to a single storey house that is surrounded by a veranda and possibly having a pitched roof with an attic space within it.
It is a relatively new word, arising from the Hindi 'bungla' during the 17 century.
How is it used where you come from?
For some of us living in Australia, it captures a simple, homely dwelling that is found in a rural or seaside setting.
