part shelter, part secret club — where beavers and Freemasons both keep their meetings private
means To house someone temporarily, to file a formal complaint or claim, or to become stuck in place — and, as a noun, a small house or the meeting place of a society.
from From Old French 'loge,' meaning a hut, arbour, or covered walkway, which came into English in the 1200s. The French word traces back through Medieval Latin 'lobia' or 'laubia' to a Germanic source — a cousin of the word that also gives us 'lobby.' The earliest sense was simply a rough shelter or temporary dwelling; from there it branched into the porter's lodge, the hunting lodge, and eventually the meeting room of a fraternal order. The 'lodge a complaint' sense grew naturally from the idea of placing or setting something firmly in position.
