A lodge is an inn where travelers stay overnight. If you’re in need of a night’s sleep while traveling an out of the way country road, you’re more likely to find yourself at a lodge than a fancy or chain hotel.

Pronunciation: /lɑdʒ/
English description: a hotel providing overnight lodging for travelers
Synonyms: inn
Chinese Translation: 旅馆(lv2 guan3)
Spanish Translation: el refugio
ORIGIN: A lodge can also be a cabin in the woods; like an inn, it’s usually a temporary accommodation. But if you join your local lodge, you’ll be expected to be a regular visitor, at least at the monthly the meetings. Lodge is also a verb, meaning to stay temporarily, or to give someone a place to stay. If you lodge a toothpick between your teeth, though, you’ll probably hope it won’t stay there too long.

EXAMPLE SENTENCE:

"We left and she still had a bullet lodged in her head but the four of us are safe and sound", the woman said.
