@Merlin-James Theres a new Docuseries on Netflix called the History of Swear words. First episode is Fuck. Science shows you are smarter and stronger when using the word in an "appropriate" way. Funny show ... good watch.
The word "husband"
-
THE WORD "HUSBAND." THE word "husband" is an Anglo-Saxon word, which means the band of the house, the one who organizes it, and holds it together, and controls it. The wife is his chief assistant in this work, though she is often the more efficient of the two—the real band of the house. Any thoughts?
-
i don't think the BAND here means holding togther. I think it implies ownership. Since that is how a wife was looked at in those days. Wife was & in many cultures still a property of the MAN.
I don't think there needs to be a comparison about performance or efficiency in a couple.
-
As a matter of fact, it did happen and some still consider this thought, the ownership of a lady by the man of the house, to be a righteous one, howsoever egregious it might sound. There are various instances of this practice throughout Eurasian cultural history.
The origin of the term husband being might be in or around Saxony, but any comparison on the efficiency, it seems futile.
