起源と歴史
From Old English 'hūs', related to German 'Haus' and Dutch 'huis'. One of the oldest and most stable words in English, virtually unchanged in meaning for over a thousand years. The verb sense ('to house') and the parliamentary sense ('the House') both developed from the idea of a building where people gather.
