Where did the word "Bungalow" derive from?

you just never know!! love this game!!

I live in one 🙂

I always thought it was when they were building a house and ran out of bricks. So they said, “Never mind, we’ll just bung a low roof on”.

I used to have a friend with the nickname ‘Bungalow’. He had nothing up above but a lot down below

A large part of the "English" language is made up of words absorbed from other languages and it continuestoday.

Knew it from reading "The Raj Quartet", a series of 4 highly interesting novels about Northern India in the days of British rule, before the creation of Pakistan.
