The English word house derives directly from the Old English hus meaning “dwelling, shelter, home, house,” which in turn derives from Proto-Germanic husan (reconstructed by etymological analysis) which is of unknown origin.
House refers to a building in which someone lives. In contrast, a home can refer either to a building or to any location that a person thinks of as the place where she lives and that belongs to her. A home can be a house or an apartment, but it could also be a tent, a boat, or an underground cave.
