Etimologia (Inglese)

Ereditato da inglese medio: hauedwei

Ereditato da inglese antico: hēafodweġ

In summary

Partly from Middle English hauedwei, from Old English hēafodweġ (“head-road, main-road”); partly as a shortening of ahead-way, the source of the nautical sense. By surface analysis, head + way.
