† borrow-headn.¹

/ˈbɒrəʊhɛd/

Etymology: < borrow n. 3 + head n.¹; compare borsholder n. The fuller form friðborhheved occurs in the (Latin) Laws of Edward the Confessor xx. Writers from the 16th cent. onwards have often confounded borrow n. 3 with borough n.; hence the form borough-head, commonly adopted in dictionaries.

Obsolete exc. Historical.

Originally the head of a friðborh or tithing (see borrow n. 3); the word, with its synonyms borsholder n., headborough n., afterwards came to denote a parochial officer, now called a Petty Constable.
