Verb[edit]

cabin (third-person singular simple present cabins, present participle cabining, simple past and past participle cabined)

(transitive) To place in a cabin or other small space.
(by extension) To limit the scope of.
- 2019, Sonia Sotomayor, dissenting, Manhattan Community Access Corp. v. Halleck, page 16, note 11:
  
  There was a time when this Court’s precedents may have portended the kind of First Amendment liability for purely private property owners that the majority spends so much time rejecting. […] But the Court soon stanched that trend. See Lloyd Corp. v. Tanner, 407 U. S. 551, 561–567 (1972) (cabining Marsh and refusing to extend Logan Valley); Hudgens v. NLRB, 424 U. S. 507, 518 (1976) (making clear that “the rationale of Logan Valley did not survive” Lloyd).
(intransitive, obsolete) To live in, or as if in, a cabin; to lodge.

A small wooden hut or cottage can be called a cabin, especially if it’s in a remote or wooded place. Your grandfather’s cabin on a lake might be your favorite place to visit in the summer.

You might dream of living in a cabin deep in the forest, or on the edge of a mountain. Another kind of cabin is a small compartment or room, particularly one on a ship or an airplane. If you have «cabin fever,» it means you’re restless and cranky after being stuck in a small space for too long. The word comes from a Late Latin root, capanna, «hut.»
