husbandry (HUS band ree) The root of this noun comes from the Middle English word for “husband,” but it means something different. Husbandry is an old-fashioned word for the field of agriculture, including breeding crops or raising livestock. Someone who performs husbandry is techni-cally a “husbandman,” but these days we say “farmer.”
- John Deere makes all kinds of equipment that is used for husbandry, includ-ing a variety of tractors, hoes, and fertilizers.
