Shade you bring with you, because the sky won't cooperate.
means A device—like a parasol, umbrella, or awning—used to block direct sunlight and create shade.
from A straightforward compound: 'sun' + 'shade,' built the way English loves to build things — by jamming two plain words together until the meaning is obvious. It entered common use in the 19th century, the period that also gave us parasols as fashionable accessories, when people wanted a plainer, more utilitarian word for the same idea: carry your own patch of shadow with you.
