You're uh... Way off. Good try though.
Putting aside specific etymology, what it means in common parlance is basically "nerd" with a heavy implication of "really into anime and manga."
Well, sir, it is of course way off because I was only saying what the word originally means. It means "house" and there is no argument about it. "Nerd" is developed later.
