A hammock (from Spanish hamaca, borrowed from Taíno and Arawak hamaka) is a sling made of fabric,
rope, or netting, suspended between two or more points, used for swinging, sleeping, or resting. It
normally consists of one or more cloth panels, or a woven network of twine or thin rope stretched
with ropes between two firm anchor points such as trees or posts. Hammocks were developed by
native inhabitants of the Americas for sleeping, as well as the English. Later, they were used aboard
ships by sailors to enable comfort and maximize available space, by explorers or soldiers traveling
in wooded regions, and eventually by parents in the early 1920s for containing babies just learning
to crawl. Today they are popular around the world for relaxation; they are also used as lightweight
beds on camping trips. The hammock is often seen as a symbol of summer, leisure, relaxation,
and simple, easy living.
