Garrets

/ˈɡɛrɪts/ noun

Definition

Plural of garret; multiple attic rooms or top floors of buildings.

Etymology

From garret (from Old French garite, 'watchtower') + -s (plural suffix). The plural form is straightforward, though the word itself carries architectural and literary weight.

Kelly Says

In 19th-century literature, garrets were the default setting for bohemian tragedy—La Bohème and countless other works made the attic room the symbol of artistic struggle and romantic poverty.
