Umbrella

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An umbrella or parasol (also called a brolly, rainshade, sunshade, gamp or bumbershoot) is a canopy designed to protect against rain or sunlight. The term parasol usually refers to an item designed to protect from the sun, and umbrella refers to a device more suited to protect from rain. Often the difference is the material; some parasols are not waterproof. Parasols are often meant to be fixed to one point and often used with patio tables or other outdoor furniture. Umbrellas are almost exclusively hand-held portable devices; however, parasols can also be hand-held. Umbrellas can be held as fashion accessories.

The word umbrella is from the Latin word umbra, which in turn derives from the Ancient Greek ombros. Its meaning is shade or shadow. Brolly is a slang word for umbrella, used often in Britain, New Zealand, Australia, and South Africa, Bumbershoot is a fanciful Americanism from the late 19th century.
