Ville ((:vil)) is the modern French word of Latin origin now meaning "city" or "town", but the first meaning in the middle-ages was "farm" (from Gallo-Romance VILLA < Latin ''villa rustica'') and then "village". The derivative suffix ''-ville'' is commonly used in English in names of cities, towns and villages. ==Derived words== *Hooverville — an area where homeless people generally lived during the Great Depression. *Village — another loanword from French used for a settlement that was larger than a hamlet but smaller than a town. *villain — feudal serf, peasant cultivator in subjection to a lord. *villein — the same word used by modern historians. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ville」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
