14世纪后期,“属于家庭或家庭的,国内的”,源自中古英语 hom “家”(见 home(n.))+ -ly(1)。 “朴素的,未装饰的,简单的”(因为家庭场景通常如此)的意义是14世纪后期的,而将其扩展到“外表朴素,没有特别美丽的特征,粗糙”则发生在大约1400年,但主要在美国,特别是在新英格兰地区,这是“外貌不吸引人”的通常术语; ugly 的意思通常是“脾气暴躁的”。在“家庭的,与家庭生活有关的”旧意义上, homish(1560年代)和 homelike(1789年)已被使用。
Middle English homly, homely "belonging to a household, used at home, close, intimate, meek, tame, common, unattractive," from hom home >entry 1 + -ly -ly >entry 1
