Etymology: "Housemen" is simply the plural of "houseman," a compound built from "house" and "man." "House" goes back to Old English "hūs," and "man" to Old English "mann," both ultimately inherited from ancient Germanic roots. Put together, the word means a man who works within a household, and the meaning follows directly from its two parts.

Synonyms: servants, attendants, valets, stewards, maids
