Étymologie (Anglais)

In summary

From Middle High German vrīthof, from Old High German frīthof, derived from frīten (“to enclose”) + Hof (“yard”). In Early Modern German, the word came to be associated with the distantly related Frieden (“peace”), probably at first through interaction of diphthongising and non-diphthongising dialects, but then leading to semantic remotivation as “place of final peace”. Cognate with archaic Dutch vrijthof.
