An archaic or dialectal term for a cottage or small dwelling, particularly in Middle English texts.
From Old English 'cote,' meaning a shelter or small house, related to 'cottage'; the 'h' insertion reflects dialectal spelling variations.
Medieval scribes spelled the same word dozens of different ways—'cothe' shows how fluid language was before printing standardized spelling around the 1500s.
