Deckhouse

/ˈdɛkˌhaʊs/ noun

Definition

A superstructure or enclosed cabin built on the deck of a ship.

Etymology

Combination of 'deck' and 'house,' describing permanent or semi-permanent structures erected on ship decks. First documented in nautical terminology around the 18th century.

Kelly Says

Modern cruise ships' towering superstructures are descendants of these original deckhouses—what started as simple enclosed spaces for protection became the multi-story buildings you see on ships today.
