by-lawn.

Brit.

/ˈbʌɪlɔː/, U.S.

/ˈbaɪˌlɔ/,

/ˈbaɪˌlɑ/

Forms: Also Middle English bilage, Middle English–1500s bilawe, 1500s–1600s by-lawe, 1600s– bye-law.

Etymology: In sense 1 apparently (from the identity of meaning, and the identification of bylaw-man (see below) with byrlaw-man ) a doublet of byrlaw n. The difference of form would be explained by the derivation of bylaw from the stem instead of the genitive case of Old Norse bý-r , Swedish and Danish by , ‘dwelling-place, farm, village, township, town’: compare the Danish bylag , Swedish byalag , bylag , mentioned below. It is less probable that bylaw might be formed in England itself from the same elements: compare by n.¹; but it might be a corruption of byr-law either phonetic, or due to confusion with the adverbial prefix by- comb. form. The earliest examples of the word refer to Kent: the difficulty of assigning a Scandinavian etymology to the local name of a Kentish custom is obvious, but compare quot. 1292 at byrlaw n. 1 from an assize held in Devonshire, and quot. 1370 at sense 2a for the general use of bylaw in sense 2. Sense 3 however shows that the word was in the 16th cent. used as if < by adv. + law n.¹, analogous to by-name , by-path , by-way ; and this is the way in which sense 2 is now understood and used. This may have been, in its origin, merely a mistaken interpretation, but it is also possible that a word may have been formed independently from these elements, without influence of the Scandinavian word, although naturally falling together with it in the general sense of subsidiary or side-law. The compounds actually found in the Scandinavian languages are Danish bylag, explained by Molbech as ‘Forening imellem alle eller endeel Bönder i en Landsby, Bymenighed’, i.e. ‘association between all or some of the farmers in a rural township, bymenighed’, the latter being further said to be ‘the community of citizens in a town, of farmers in a rural township, etc.’; also Swedish byalag, bylag, village community. In Old Norse lag had, among other senses, that of ‘fellowship’; the plural lög those of ‘law’, ‘law-community or association’, and ‘law-district’ (compare the Dena-lagu or Dane-law). The singular has given Swedish and Danish lag-et; the plural Swedish lag-en, Danish lov-en ‘law’. The word belagines, alleged by Jordanis to be Gothic for ‘written law’, has sometimes been referred to in this connection; but it can have no relation to the English word.

†1.

a. Apparently the same as byrlaw n.: occurring in the 13th cent. as the name of a custom (in Kent) according to which disputes concerning boundaries were settled outside the law courts, on the testimony of neighbours, by official or specially deputed arbitrators. Obsolete.
