來源：
Middle English huseband
中古英語 huseband
from Old English hôsbônda
源自 古英語 hôsbônda
from Old Norse hôsbôndi
源自 古斯堪的納維亞語 hôsbôndi
hôs [house]
hôs [房子]
bôndi, bôandi [householder] [present participle of] bôa [to dwell] * see bheu…-

<注釋>We gain an insight into the history of the wordhusband by considering the Old English word hôsbônde, meaning .the mistress of a house..Ifhôsbônde had survived into Modern English, husband, its modern form, would have been very ambiguous.The fact thathôsbônde could mean .mistress of a house. helps us see the elements that make up the Old English ancestor of our wordhusband. Hôscorresponds to house. The element-bônde is the feminine form of -bônda, the second element of Old Englishhôsbônda. The entire Old English word is a borrowing of the Old Icelandic wordhôsbôndi, meaning .the master of a house..The second element inhôsbôndi, bôndi, means .a man who has land and stock. and comes from the verbbôa, meaning .to live, dwell, have a household.. The master of the house was of course usually the spouse of a wife as well,and it would seem that our main current sense ofhusband arises from this overlap.
考察一下古英語中husbonde 這個(gè)詞，我們就會(huì)對(duì) husband 這個(gè)詞的歷史有一定了解， 意思是.房子的女主人.。假如husbonde 這個(gè)詞能留存在現(xiàn)代英語中， 作為husbonde 的現(xiàn)代形式， 它的意思會(huì)變得很模糊。husbonde 的意思是.房子的女主人.， 這有助于我們找出那些構(gòu)成古英語中我們今天的husband這個(gè)詞的前身。 Hus對(duì)應(yīng) house 。 -bonde 是 -bonda 的陰性形式， 古英語中 husbonda 的第二個(gè)部分。 這個(gè)古英語中的詞整體上借自冰島語中的 husbondi ， 意思是.房子的男主人.。husbondi, bondi 第二部分的意思是.一個(gè)擁有土地和牲畜的男子.， 它來自動(dòng)詞 bua ，意思是.生活、居住、擁有一個(gè)家.。 一座房子的男主人當(dāng)然通常也是妻子的配偶，看起來今天husband 這個(gè)詞的中心意思源于這種重疊
