means A place to stay, usually rented temporarily, where you sleep when you're away from home.

from From the Old French 'logier,' meaning to lodge or shelter, which traces back to 'loge' — a hut, arbor, or covered shelter. That 'loge' has Germanic roots, a cousin of the same family that gives us 'lobby' and 'loggia.' The original sense was leafy and rough: a temporary shelter made of branches, the kind a traveler or soldier might throw together for a night. Over centuries the branches hardened into walls, and 'lodging' came to mean any borrowed roof over a borrowed bed.
