Lived in these things for years and have never queried the term. Come to think of it I don't know of anyone until today who has.
Simply taken for granted it is a very small room with not much else inside but a bed and a tele and shower if really lucky.
They are actually pretty swish nowadays, and I use that loosely. Still sparse, except for the permanent operational mine workers. Construction sites though are very basic.
If you ever get the chance have a look at the Newman museum. The dongas they had when Whaleback was constructed is very enlightening.
