{{also|Husband}}
==English==

===Etymology===
From {{inh|en|enm|husbonde}}, {{m|enm|housbonde}}, from {{inh|en|ang|hūsbonda}}, {{m|ang|hūsbunda|t=male head of a household, householder, master of a house}}, from {{der|en|non|húsbóndi|t=master of house}}, from {{m|non|hús|t=house}} + {{m|non|bóndi|t=dweller, householder}}, equivalent to {{af|en|house|bond|t2=serf, slave", originally, "dweller|id2=servant}}.

''Bond'' in turn represents a formation derived from the present participle of West Scandinavian {{lang|und|búa|sc=Latn|face=term}}, East Scandinavian {{lang|und|bôa|sc=Latn|face=term}} = to build, plow; compare German {{m|de|bauen}}, {{m|de|Bauende|der Bauende}}. Cognate with {{cog|is|húsbóndi||head of household}}, {{cog|fo|húsbóndi||husband}}, {{cog|no|husbond||head of household, husband}}, {{cog|sv|husbonde||master}}, {{cog|da|husbond||husband}} (< {{cog|gmq-oda|husbonde}}).
