主
master
(ご)主しゅ人じん(go)shujin
husband

Note how, just as with 家か内ない the kanji in this word correspond to traditional gender roles.

The problem is that though among friends you can use 夫おっと, in a less casual setting there's not currently really a good alternative to ご主しゅ人じん to politely refer to someone else's husband.

主しゅ人じんshujin
owner (of a store); landlord
pour
注

You have to pour water for your master.
