A lean-to is a small, roughly made building put up against the side of a larger one, so it can share that wall. The roof often one way and seems to lean toward the big building — that is where the name comes from. People use a lean-to as a shed, a wood store, or a simple extra shelter. It is a practical, slightly old-fashioned word you hear around gardens and country houses, not in city legal talk. First written down in 1461. Though actually, some lean-tos are quite tidy; “roughly made” is the usual picture, not a rule.
