black housen.

Brit.

/ˈblak haʊs/, U.S.

/ˈblæk ˌhaʊs/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: black adj., house n.¹

Etymology: < black adj. + house n.¹With sense 1 compare Scottish Gaelic taigh dubh (1869 or earlier as tigh dubh ; < taigh , tigh house (see thack n.) + dubh black: see clabbydoo n.). Black houses are often said to have been originally so called by contrast with newer houses built with lime mortar, and also often whitewashed (compare quot. 1869 and also white house n. 3), but it is difficult to ascertain whether this is the origin of the phrase or a later interpretation. It is also unclear in which language the term first occurs, especially since there are limited records of Scottish Gaelic from that period. Compare the discussion in C. Mackie Devel. of Lewis House (Ph.D. thesis, Univ. of Edinb., 2006), sect. 2.1.2.

1. Scottish (a) A turf house. (b) A traditional house built of unmortared stone with a filling of earth, found esp. in north-western Scotland and the Hebrides.
