Origin: A borrowing from Irish. Etymons: Irish bean an tí, bean tí.
Etymology: Partly < Irish bean an tí, bean a' tí, †bean an tighe, literally ‘the woman of the house’ < bean woman (Early Irish ben : see quean n.) + an the + , †tighe , genitive of teach house (see thack n.), and partly (in γ. forms) < Irish bean tí, †bean tighe, literally ‘a woman of the (or a) house’ < bean woman + , †tighe, genitive of teach house (without the definite article).The α. forms apparently reflect an inflected form of the Irish phrase (e.g. in the vocative a bhean an tí ), showing lenition (lenition n. 2) of the initial consonant (written bh- and pronounced /v/).
