(compare Scots hoose, West Frisian hûs, Dutch huis, Low German Huus, German Haus, Danish hus, Norwegian Bokmål hus and Swedish hus), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kews-, from *(s)kewH- (“to cover, hide”). Compare also Northern Luri ???? (höš, “house, home”). Eclipsed non-native Middle English meson, measoun (“house”), borrowed from Old French maison (“house”). More at hose.
