blockhousen.

Brit.

/ˈblɒkhaʊs/, U.S.

/ˈblɑkˌhaʊs/

Etymology: Common since c1500: of uncertain history. The German equivalent blochhaus (‘einen steinen Blochhaus’) is quoted by Grimm 1557 and 1602; the Dutch blokhuis is in Kilian 1599; French blocus , generally considered to be the same word, and originally in same sense, is quoted by Littré in the 16th cent. (compare bloccuz n.). So far as evidence goes, the English is thus the earliest; but we should expect it to be of Dutch or German origin. In any case the sense was not originally (as in modern notion) a house composed of blocks of wood, but one which blocks or obstructs a passage. The history and age of the German blockhaus and French blocus require more investigation.

a. originally. A detached fort blocking or covering the access to a landing, a narrow channel, a mountain pass, a bridge, or other strategical point.

b. In later use: An edifice of one or (formerly) more storeys, constructed chiefly of timber, loop-holed and embrasured for firing.
