umberella 

In point and purpose, similar to the widely known umbrella, but for a few differences. First, in functionality, it works to deflect metaphorical "rainstorms", as in hardships, trials, etc.. rather than actual, physical rain. Another notable difference is that the role of umberellas are not typically played by innanimate objects, but rather actual people. Perhaps the most notorious umberella is Rihanna, of which there is actual documentation of her acting as an umberella and protecting whoever she is "umberellaing" for during one of these spiritual torrents.
When it rains it rains forever
We can't see through all the weather
You can stand under my umberella

umbrella term 

A word that groups other words into a single common category.
In terms of race in America "black" is an umbrella term for African-American, Jamaican, Igbo, etc. Even though these people are different, to the general public they fall under the umbrella term, "black".

umbrellow 

Umbrellow

A fellow (or feller, if you're a redneck) who follows you around and holds an umbrella over your head to protect you from the rain or sun. This service can be done voluntarily by someone like a boyfriend or it can be a paid service. Mariah Carey has people to carry her water bottles. You know she has an umbrellow.

A female version of an umbrellow is an umbrellass.
It's raining so hard outside. I have all these binders and textbooks to carry to my next class. I wish I had an umbrellow to keep me dry.
