Verandah Lace
Regarding History of term "Verandah" from Wikipedia.
The term dates to 1711 and came from the Hindi varanda, which in turn is thought to have come from a Portuguese word meaning "long balcony or terrace".[4] which itself derived from Tamil வெறுந்தரை veruntharai—Verum வெறும் (empty) + tharai தரை (floor or space)—a roofed opened gallery.[5]
Although the form "verandah" is correct and very common, some authorities prefer the version without an h (the Concise Oxford English Dictionary gives the h version as a variant,[6] and The Guardian Style Guide says "veranda not verandah").[7]
