A bungalow is a house that has just one floor - no upstairs. People often choose them because there are no to climb, which is easier for older people or young children. The word has an interesting history: it doesn't come from English at all originally.
平房
組成From Hindi bangla, meaning 'in the Bengal style' - a way of building houses that British settlers in India noticed and brought the word home with them.
