"hussy" meaning in English

See hussy in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈhʌsi/, /ˈhʌzi/ Audio: En-US-hussy.wav , LL-Q1860 (eng)-Vealhurl-hussy.wav Forms: hussies [plural]
Rhymes: -ʌsi, Rhymes: -ʌzi Etymology: From earlier hussive, hussif, the regular evolution of Middle English houswyf (“housewife”), equivalent to house + wife. Modern housewife is a restoration of the compound (and thus is a doublet), after its component parts had become unrecognisable through regular phonetic change, as well as gradual negative senses and historical factors. The traditional pronunciation of the word is /ˈhʌzi/; the pronunciation with /s/ is a spelling pronunciation.
