| Parts of an Umbrella [1] | | Man sitting under a beach parasol | | Collapsed umbrellas | | An umbrella with raindrops | | Parasols in Wuhan, China | An umbrella is a collapsible canopy that protects a person from rain or sun. They can be made by stretching a fabric or other material over a wire frame and have a handle for carrying or securing in a base. The person is kept dry by the fabric which is usually waterproof and water rolls off the sides. An umbrella made for protection from the sun is called a parasol. These are often meant to be fixed to one point and often used with patio tables or other outdoor furniture, or on the beach for shelter from the sun. However parasols can also be hand held devices. The word umbrella is from the Latin word umbra, which in turn derives from the Ancient Greek όμβρος (omvros). Its meaning is shade or shadow. Brolly is a slang word for umbrella, used often in Britain and Australia. - 1 Derivation
