Etymology

The word 'farmhouse' dates back to the early 15th century, derived from the Middle English term 'fermhous' which referred to a house associated with a farm. It is a combination of 'farm', which comes from the Old French 'ferme', meaning to lease or rent, and the word 'house', stemming from Old English 'hus'. Historically, the farmhouse was not just a residence but also a hub of agricultural activity, reflecting the social and economic structures of rural communities. Over time, the design and purpose of farmhouses have evolved, reflecting changes in farming practices and lifestyles, yet they continue to symbolize a connection to the land and agricultural heritage.
