city wardn.²

Brit.

/ˌsɪtɪ ˈwɔːd/, U.S.

/ˈsɪdi ˈwɔrd/

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: city n., ward n.²

Etymology: < city n. + ward n.² N.E.D. (1889) includes this compound apparently in the sense ‘a watchman or warden of a city’ (see ward n.¹), but evidence for this is lacking. An entry for it in S. Fallows Progressive Dict. Eng. Lang. (1885) 126/1 is based on an erroneous interpretation of a passage in E. Fairfax tr. Tasso Godfrey of Bulloigne (1600) 167.

A ward or district of a city.
