housepainter

/hˈaʊspeɪntɚ/ noun

A professional painter of houses

Word Origin House from Old English hūs, and painter from Latin pingere 'to paint' — a housepainter is literally a house-painter. The root pingere also gives us paint, painting, and picture (via pictus, past participle). House is a Germanic word that's been with us since Old English, related to hus in Scandinavian languages. The compound is straightforward but the roots span two language families.
