[Middle English huseband, from Old English hūsbōnda, from Old Norse hūsbōndi : hūs, house + bōndi, būandi, householder present participle of būa, to dwell.]

Word History: We gain an insight into the history of the word husband by considering the Old English word hūsbōnde, meaning "the mistress of a house." If hūsbōnde had survived into Modern English, husband, its modern form, would have been very ambiguous. The fact that hūsbōnde could mean "mistress of a house" helps us see the elements that make up the Old English ancestor of our word husband. Hūs corresponds to house. The element -bōnde is the feminine form of -bōnda, the second element of Old English hūsbōnda. The entire Old English word is a borrowing of the Old Icelandic word hūsbōndi, meaning "the master of a house." The second element in hūsbōndi, bōndi, means "a man who has land and stock" and comes from the verb būa, 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 of husband arises from this overlap.
