frith
Frith is an Old English word meaning "peace; freedom from molestation, protection; safety, security".〔Oxford English Dictionary〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bosworthtoller.com/012425 )〕
== Etymology ==
Derived from Old English ''friðu, friþ'', it is cognate to Old Norse ''friðr'', Old High German ''fridu'', German ''Friede'', Dutch ''vrede'', West Frisian ''frede'', Icelandic ''friður'', Common Scandinavian ''fred'' (all with meanings similar to "peace" or "calm") and also root-cognate to ''friend''.
In Swedish, two different words with different meanings have developed from this word, the words ''fred'' (state of no war) and ''frid'' (state of no disturbance) and also the expression that something is "fredat/fredad" more or less "peaced" denoting things that are not to be touched such as animals not to be hunted or flowers not to be picked. The English word became obsolete in the Middle English period, but survived into the 17th century in the compound ''frith-silver'' "feudal payment".
