You ever wonder how something got its name ? Me too . As I was preparing to walk from the car to the store , I found a long - neglected umbrella under the seat and used it , as Tropical Storm Fay would ' ve soaked me through in the 15 second walk . And I start wondering why it 's called an umbrella , and then as the word is repeated in my head , it eventually sounds nonsensical , like any word you repeat over and over again .

Question: Why did they decide to use an umbrella ?
Answer: They hate being out in the rain .They did not want to get blown away by the winds .The tropical storm was causing a lot of rain .They wanted to protect their belongings .
