Thesaurus & Semantic Spectrum
Linguistic Origin & Historical Etymology
The term combines 'multi-' derived from Latin 'multus' (many, much), 'family' from Latin 'familia' (household of servants, estate), and 'housing' from Old English 'hūsian' (to provide with a house). It developed as an urban planning and real estate term in the 20th century to describe residential structures designed to accommodate more than one household.
