Hansard

== English == === Etymology 1 === From Middle English hansard (“merchant or citizen of a Hanseatic town; member of a merchant guild; a surname”), from hanse, hansze, hanze, haunse (“merchant guild; the Hanseatic League; member of the Hanseatic League; membership fee for a merchant guild; payment in general”) + -ard (suffix forming adjectives and nouns). Hanse is derived from Old French hanse (“merchant guild; membership fee for a merchant guild”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱóm (“beside, by; with; along”) + *sed- (“to sit”). The English word is analysable as Hanse (“merchant guild; the Hanseatic League”) +‎ -ard (suffix forming agent nouns, especially pejorative ones). ==== Pronunciation ==== (Received Pronunciation) IPA(key): /ˈhænsəd/ (General American) IPA(key): /ˈhænsɚd/ Hyphenation: Han‧sard ==== Proper noun ==== Hansard A surname. ==== Noun ==== Hansard (plural Hansards) (historical, also attributively) A member of a Hanse (“merchant guild”), or a resident of a Hanse town. ===== Translations ===== === Etymology 2 === From Hansard, the surname of Thomas Curson Hansard (1776–1833), an English printer who inherited the business of printing reports of parliamentary debates and proceedings from his father Luke Hansard (1752–1828).
