Etymology of DEAR HUBBY

The term "dear hubby" is a colloquial, affectionate way of referring to one's husband. It is not a word with an established etymology as it is essentially a combination of two words: "dear" meaning beloved or cherished, and "hubby" being a colloquial term for husband. "Dear" comes from the Old English word "dēore", meaning precious or beloved. "Hubby", on the other hand, is a diminutive form of "husband", likely influenced by the informal suffix "-y" or "-ie" commonly used in English to create familiar or diminutive forms of words. It emerged in the early 19th century, and the exact origin is unclear. The term "dear hubby" is an endearing and informal way of addressing one's spouse.
