woodhouse

word

Definition

A proper noun, usually a family name or place name, not a common English word. Sometimes could refer to a house made of wood if used literally.

Usage & Nuances

Almost always used as a proper noun (surname, village, or location name). Rarely, if ever, used for an actual house made of wood—'wooden house' or 'log cabin' is correct for that meaning. Can be confused with 'Woodhouse' in literature or place names.
