You can picture husbandry as someone standing in charge of things that are alive or in short supply, and looking after them on purpose, day after day: the field, the animals, the store . The word never points at the thing owned. It points at the looking-after — the routine, the method, the not-wasting. That is why it can be judged good or poor, and why it fits a farm, a vet's clinic and an old household account book equally well.
From the word’s history
Middle English husbandry came from hous-bond, the master or manager of a household. The oldest uses already cover both household management and farming, which is why one word still stretches from the field to the account book.
中古英文的 husbandry 來自 hous-bond，指「一家之主、管家的人」。最早的用法就同時包含「管家務」和「務農」兩塊。所以今天它一邊落在田裡，一邊落在帳本上，並不是後來硬接上去的。
