chalet

Volgens die woordeboek is 'n chalet 'n tipe huis of hut, tipies van hout gemaak, met 'n skuins dak en breë dakrand. Dit word dikwels in bergagtige streke aangetref en as 'n vakansiehuis of ski-lodge gebruik. Die term "chalet" het sy oorsprong in Switserland en is afgelei van die Frans-Provensaalse woord "châlet," wat herdershut beteken. In moderne gebruik word die term dikwels gebruik om enige knus, rustieke woning te beskryf, ongeag die ligging of doel daarvan.
