| 词汇 | bylaw |
| 词源 | bylaw. A law or rule, or a secondary law or rule. The by in the word, however, has nothing to do with “secondary” as many people believe. By here comes from the Old Norse by in the names of English places, such as Whitby, where Scandanavian invaders settled. The word, which itself may be Old Norse, is first recorded in 1283, in the sense of a body of regulations of a village or town. |
