homesteadn.

Brit.

/ˈhəʊmstɛd/, U.S.

/ˈhoʊmˌstɛd/

Forms: see home n.¹ and adj. and stead n.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: home n.¹, stead n.

Etymology: < home n.¹ + stead n. Compare Old Frisian hēmstede, hāmstede, Old Icelandic heimstǫð.Attested early in place names and in boundary markers in Anglo-Saxon charter bounds; compare e.g. Medeshamstedi , original name of the site of the monastery of Peterborough (8th cent. in manuscripts of Bede Eccl. Hist. (a731)). An Old English by-form in hǣm- is apparently reflected by the place-name evidence. The two types are not clearly distinguished and often occur side by side in the history of individual place names; compare e.g. Hamstede , Hemstede , Middlesex (986; now Hampstead), Dunhæmstede , Worcestershire (first half of the 11th cent. in a copy of a charter of ?977; also Dunhamstyde (second half of the 11th cent. in a copy of a charter of 813); now Dunhampstead), Hamstedam , Hamesteda , Essex (1086; also Hemstede (1254); now Hempstead). The origin of Old English hǣm- is unclear and disputed; it has been suggested that it may result from double mutation in combination with the second element -styde (which later became interchangeable with -stede ; compare forms of stead n.); see K. I. Sandred English Place-names in -stead (1963) 88, and compare A. Campbell Old Eng. Gram. (1959) §§203, 204.2. (If this explanation is correct, then analogical replacement (of both elements) must already have occurred in attested Old English; compare forms cited above.) An alternative explanation (see J. K. Wallenberg Kentish Place-names (1931) 110–11) which takes the first element as showing a different word, perhaps Old English hænep hemp n., is unconvincing. Surviving place names usually show shortening of the stem vowel of the first element before the consonant cluster (-mst-), and frequently the development of an excrescent p between the nasal and following voiceless consonant (compare E. J. Dobson Eng. Pronunc. 1500–1700 (ed. 2, 1968) II. §§434–5). N.E.D. (1899) gives the pronunciation as (hō^u·mstėd) /ˈhəʊmstɪd/.

1. A settlement; a place of residence; a household or home. Also figurative.In Old English only in boundary markers in charters. It is not always certain whether, in these contexts, the word shows this sense or sense 2a; cf. esp. quot. lOE³.
