Como digo Quincho en ingles?

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

In no dictionary I've consulted there is a certain origin for the word, but it doesn't exist in Italian.

In Spanish: templete.

It looks like a Spanish word to me, but obviously it is not known in Spain. It has to be Italian then!!

According to the ethymology dictionary

gazebo 1752, supposedly a facetious formation from gaze + -bo, L. first pers. sing. future tense suffix (cf. videbo "I shall see"), on model of earlier belvedere "cupola," from It. bello verde "handsome sight." But most likely a corruption of some oriental word.

Hi everyone, and thank you for your responses. The text (from Argentina) I was translating spoke of a "enorme parrilla bajo la protección de un quincho".
Sounds like gazebo to me.
Again thank you.

I would call these a grilling hut, or a barbecue area.
