Swedish

Etymology

A noun based on the verb avträda (“to leave, to depart”), cognate with Middle Low German aftrede. Used in the sense of a private place for retreat (i.e. an outhouse) since 1730. In order to avoid misunderstandings, the other senses have become less common and eventually obsolete.

Noun

avträde n

1. an outhouse
2. (obsolete) a departure (from service or ownership), a retreat (from a battle), a damage (a payment for ending a conflict)
