yurt

yurt
Noun
pl: yurts

This term refers specifically to the traditional dwelling of Central Asian nomads. While the word is often used interchangeably with "ger" (the Mongolian term), "yurt" is the more recognized English term for these portable, lattice-walled structures.

In modern Western contexts, the word has expanded to describe glamping structures or permanent eco-homes that mimic the circular shape and felt covering of the original nomadic tents, though these often lack the portability of the traditional version.
