Etymology
The word 'village' comes from the Old French 'village,' which in turn comes from the Latin 'villaticus,' meaning 'of a farm.' The concept of a village has existed for centuries, with human settlements evolving from small groups of hunter-gatherers to organized communities with agriculture and trade.
