組成The name goes back to Middle English hansard, a merchant or citizen of a Hanseatic town, from hanse (a merchant guild; also the Hanseatic League) + -ard. Hanse came through Old French; scholars trace it further to very old roots meaning “with” and “to sit” — people sitting together as a group. The English name is built as Hanse + -ard. Britain’s parliamentary record took that family name.
