Etymology

The word 'neighborhood' originated from the Middle English word 'neighbo(u)rred', which combines 'neighbo(u)r' (from Old English 'neahgebur', meaning 'nigh' or 'near' + 'gebur', meaning 'dweller') with the suffix '-red' denoting condition or quality. The concept of neighborhoods has evolved over time, reflecting changes in community structures and social interactions.
