Definition of 'Goodman'
From: GCIDE
- Goodman \Good"man\, n. [Good + man] [1913 Webster]
- 1. A familiar appellation of civility, equivalent to "My friend", "Good sir", "Mister;" -- sometimes used ironically. [Obs.] [1913 Webster]
- With you, goodman boy, an you please. --Shak. [1913 Webster]
- 2. A husband; the master of a house or family; -- often used in speaking familiarly. [Archaic] --Chaucer. [1913 Webster]
- Say ye to the goodman of the house, . . . Where is the guest-chamber ? --Mark xiv. 14. [1913 Webster]
- Note: In the early colonial records of New England, the term goodman is frequently used as a title of designation, sometimes in a respectful manner, to denote a person whose first name was not known, or when it was not desired to use that name; in this use it was nearly equivalent to Mr. This use was doubtless brought with the first settlers from England. [1913 Webster]
