The term 'TYPE OF HUT' can be solved by the 6-letter word 'NISSEN'. A Nissen hut is a type of prefabricated hut made from a half-cylinder of corrugated steel. It was developed during World War I by the British engineer and inventor Major Peter Nissen. The huts were used as military barracks, storage facilities, and other purposes. They are still in use today, often as temporary housing or emergency shelters.
