    generalization: meaning broadens to refer to something general

    The original word barley house was meant as a place that housed a particular crop while it dried out. It change to become something more general. A barn is something that houses all different types of farm equipment and crops. The new word encompasses more crops and equipment while the original word referred to a more specific crop.

    We don't actually have information to know if something is more or less favorable in this instance.
