<noun.person>




Goodman \Good"man\, n. [Good + man]
1. A familiar appellation of civility, equivalent to ``My
friend'', ``Good sir'', ``Mister;'' -- sometimes used
ironically. [Obs.]

With you, goodman boy, an you please. --Shak.

2. A husband; the master of a house or family; -- often used
in speaking familiarly. [Archaic] --Chaucer.

Say ye to the goodman of the house, . . . Where is
the guest-chamber ? --Mark xiv.

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.
