Brit.

/ˈhʌzb(ə)ndri/, U.S.

/ˈhəzb(ə)ndri/

Forms: see husband n. and -ry suffix. Also Middle English hosbonderye, Middle English hosboundrie, Middle English housbonderye, Middle English husbandery, Middle English husbonderye, 1500s howsbondry, 1500s husybandrye, 1600s husbondarey.

Origin: Formed within English, by derivation. Etymons: husband n., -ry suffix.

Etymology: < husband n. + -ry suffix. Compare husbanding n.The English word was borrowed into post-classical Latin and Anglo-Norman: compare post-classical Latin husbandria , husbondria , husbonderia agriculture, farming (frequently from late 13th cent. in British sources), farm, farmstead (frequently from 1339 in British sources), housekeeping, estate management (15th cent. in British sources), Anglo-Norman husbandrie , husbandry , hosbondrye , etc. (also hosebonderie , housebonderie , etc.) agriculture, cultivation, farm management (c1300: see below), management of a household, housekeeping (early 15th cent.). Earlier currency in sense 3a is probably implied by use in this sense of Anglo-Norman hosebondrie :?c1300 Walter of Henley's Husbandry (Cambr. Ee.1.1) (1890) 2 Ce est le dite de hosebondrie ke vn sage homme fist iadis ke auoyt a non syre Walter de henle.Similarly, earlier currency in sense 4b is probably implied by use in this sense of post-classical Latin husbandria :c1344 in J. Raine Charters Priory Finchale (1837) p. xxxv Et de liij s. ix d. in husbandria de Fynkhale, Thorp, et Softeley.1357–8 in J. Raine Charters Priory Finchale (1837) p. xlvi In diversis rebus emptis pro husbandria apud Fynchall, Wyndegate, et Hessewell, v l. xj s. vj d. ob. With the form husbondarey perhaps compare formations in -ary suffix¹. The Middle English forms in -ery , -erye , etc. may reflect forms of husband n. in final -e , although perhaps compare formations in -ery suffix; compare also Anglo-Norman forms in -erie and the post-classical Latin form husbonderia.
