house
A house is a building that functions as a home, ranging from simple dwellings such as rudimentary huts of nomadic tribes and the improvised shacks in shantytowns to complex, fixed structures of wood, brick, or other materials containing plumbing, ventilation and electrical systems.〔Schoenauer, Norbert (2000). ''6,000 Years of Housing'' (rev. ed.) (New York: W.W. Norton & Company).〕 Most conventional modern houses in Western cultures will contain a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen or cooking area, and a living room. In traditional agriculture-oriented societies, domestic animals such as chickens or larger livestock (like cattle) may share part of the house with humans. The social unit that lives in a house is known as a household. Most commonly, a household is a family unit of some kind, although households may also be other social groups or individuals. The design and structure of the house is also subject to change as a consequence of globalization, urbanization and other social, economic, demographic, and technological reasons.〔Mughal, Muhammad Aurang Zeb (2015). (Domestic Space and Socio-spatial Relationships in Rural Pakistan ). ''South Asia Research'' 35(2):214-234.〕 Various other cultural factors also influence the building style and patterns of domestic space.
==Etymology==
The English word ''house'' derives directly from the Old English ''Hus'' meaning "dwelling, shelter, home, house," which in turn derives from Proto-Germanic ''Khusan'' (reconstructed by etymological analysis) which is of unknown origin. The house itself gave rise to the letter 'B' through an early Proto-Semitic hieroglyphic symbol depicting a house. The symbol was called "bayt", "bet" or "beth" in various related languages, and became ''beta'', the Greek letter, before it was used by the Romans.
