Swedish
[edit]
Etymology
[edit]From Old Swedish byghþ, from Old Norse byggð, from Proto-Germanic *biwwiþō. First attested in the 13th century[1].
Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]bygd c
- An (often vaguely defined) rural region (forming a cohesive community in some sense; e.g. historical, cultural, or geographic)
- Synonym: (historical) -bo
- (Can we verify(+) this sense?) a village
- (The addition of quotations indicative of this usage is being sought:)
Usage notes
[edit]- A bygd will often refer to a grouping of several distinct settlements. While a village or town may sometimes serve as its core, it will almost certainly also include its surroundings, whether villages, hamlets, farms, or other dwellings.
- There is no clear definition of how large or small a bygd can be. It can be as small as a village and its immediate surroundings or as large as a parish, or it may describe all the settlements and dwellings of an island or valley.
