"A RumBrella for 4, please... by the water!"

By Rob Roy

6 Dec 2008

Word: Rum-brel-la, noun

1: a collapsible shade used to protect oneself from sun or weather while eating and drinking, most often a rum-based potion; usually found by the ocean, on a terrace or other place with relaxing atmosphere.

Umbrella is another synonym for the term parasol, which was first used as a protection against the scorching heat of the sun, "para" meaning stop or shield and "sol" meaning sun. The word "umbrella" has evolved from the Latin "umbella" (and "umbel" is a flat-topped rounded flower) or "umbra," meaning "shaded." -Wikipedia
