means A building made for people to live in, typically with walls, a roof, and rooms.

from From Old English 'hus,' a solid Germanic word with cousins all over the family — Dutch 'huis,' German 'Haus,' Old Norse 'hus.' Its deeper root is murky; one guess connects it to a verb meaning 'to cover or hide,' which fits something built to shelter you, but the trail goes cold before certainty. For well over a thousand years, in nearly the same shape, it has simply meant the place you go inside.
