约于1300年, pentis, pendize,“从主墙或建筑物的侧面或末端伸出的棚屋或倾斜屋顶”,源自盎格鲁-法语 pentiz,是旧法语 apentis 的缩写,“附属建筑物,附属物”,源自中世纪拉丁语 appendicium,源自拉丁语 appendere “悬挂”(参见 append)。
现代拼写法约于1530年,受到法语 pente “斜坡”的民间词源影响,以及英语 house(当时的意思是“带有倾斜屋顶或遮阳篷的附属建筑物”)。最初是一个简单的结构(中古英语的布道描述了耶稣出生的马厩是一个“棚屋”); “建在摩天大楼屋顶上的公寓或小房子”的意思可追溯到1921年,从那时起,它与奢华的联系就开始了。
