Hūscorresponds to house. The element-bōnde is the feminine form of -bōnda, the second element of Old Englishhūsbōnda. The entire Old English word is a borrowing of the Old Icelandic wordhūsbōndi, meaning "the master of a house.”The second element inhūsbōndi, bōndi, means "a man who has land and stock" and comes from the verbbūa, 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. 考察一下古英语中husbonde 这个词，我们就会对 husband 这个词的历史有一定了解， 意思是“房子的女主人”。假如husbonde 这个词能留存在现代英语中， 作为husbonde 的现代形式， 它的意思会变得很模糊。husbonde 的意思是“房子的女主人”， 这有助于我们找出那些构成古英语中我们今天的husband这个词的前身。 Hus对应 house 。 -bonde 是 -bonda 的阴性形式， 古英语中 husbonda 的第二个部分。 这个古英语中的词整体上借自冰岛语中的 husbondi ， 意思是“房子的男主人”。husbondi, bondi 第二部分的意思是“一个拥有土地和牲畜的男子”， 它来自动词 bua ，意思是“生活、居住、拥有一个家”。 一座房子的男主人当然通常也是妻子的配偶，看起来今天husband 这个词的中心意思源于这种重叠 〔begum〕from East Turkic begüm [first person sing. possessive of] beg [master, mistress] 源自 东突厥语 begüm beg的第一人称单数所有格 [主人，女主人] 〔lady〕Middle English [mistress of a household] 中古英语 [家中的女主人] 〔dame〕Used formerly as a courtesy title for a woman in authority or a mistress of a household.夫人，女士：以前用作对有权威的妇女或家族中的女主人的尊称〔dictatorial〕The hostess indicated where the guests were to sit in her usual dictatorial manner.女主人用她平时的专横傲慢的态度指示宾客坐的地方。〔Madison〕First Lady of the United States (1809-1817) as the wife of President James Madison.
