Balabusta

Balabusta (Yiddish:בעל־הביתטע‎) is a Yiddish expression describing a good homemaker among Ashkenazi Jews. The Anglicized form is baleboste, and the term derives from the Hebrew term bá'alat habáyit, meaning "mistress of the house". The masculine form is בעל־הבית‎ balebos, from Hebrew בַּעַל הַבַּיִת‎ bá'al habáyit "master of the house", of same origin as Baal.
